Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Linq

AKA - We have Monads at home...

Rust is really missing something like do syntax. It's half-way there with the semicolon and question marks, but it's missing an idiom for .map_or_else and to generalize the thing to work with a trait.

Thats not the linq purpose. Though it is technically a monad, its purpose is not hiding side effects or managing an async flow, or managing nulls/errors, but query, filter, map data from an enumerable.

If you use Linq as a replacement for Option, Either or Maybe you're doing something wrong.

Yeah, exactly, it's a replacement for List.
