Both your comment and OPs comment have no place. The article itself is a newly published guide to Rust. OPs comment derailed the entire thread- perhaps 2/3 of the discussion is in response. Ideally, if this comment merited discussion, it would be submitted as its own thread (where it would quickly go nowhere). After all, the assertion, fn is a stupid name, is a bikeshed- a triviality offering a safe opinion for everyone. Rust isn't going to change the token. Please refrain from bikeshedding in the future.
