TBF enums in any language other than rust are bad.
But enumerators (aka. iterators) typically have nothing to do with enums, no?
They are just named integers. The compiler takes care of all that.
Please elaborate.
Enums in Rust are spicier unions, and Rust boosters like to paint it as the perfect way to do it, because it's the best language ever, with no faults. If you disagree, they'll try to frame you as a Lunduke fan and a bigot.
Iffind rust interesting but I don't use it enough to know anything deep about it.
All I know is that I am not made for c++.
Hell I can't keep track of pointers and scopes. And who the hell made templates?
Templates outside of D are a mess, and the reason why metaprogramming has a bad name. Templates inside D are easy to use, and its attempt at it is something more language should copy.
Glances nervously at my own code using more and more enums now-a-days.
