  • Wishlist: functions with keyword args, optional args, and/or variable-arity argument (varargs) lists

    View all comments A portion of the community (and of the core team) sees one or more of the following features as important for programmer ergonomics: - keyword-based parameters (as opposed to position-based parameters https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/323

  • Support some non-structural (nominal) type matching

    Proposal: support non-structural typing (e.g. new user-defined base-types, or some form of basic nominal typing). This allows programmer to have more refined types supporting frequently used idioms such as:

  1. Indexes that come from different tables. Because all indexes are strings (or numbers), https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/202
  • Tracking issue for async/await (RFC 2394)

    This is the tracking issue for RFC 2394 (rust-lang/rfcs#2394), which adds async and await syntax to the language.

I will be spearheading the implementation work of this RFC, but would appreciate mentorship as I have relatively little experience working in rustc.

  • Sum/union types and type matching

    I’d like to import some features from functional languages like OCaML and F#. The main feature I’m proposing is the possibility of using typedef to define sum types. They can be thought of as type enumerations. This will, in some cases, reduce the need for dynamic making for sounder typing.
