Rust is JavaScript, confirmed.

Huh?

It's "chicken and egg" all over again. Rust is 11 years old already.

Not really though. Local variables are the *one* use case where liberal type inference is not a bad thing. In every other case you have to provide types in Rust (which is good)

Eh?

Since when has JS a vector?

Or typing?

And let has an entire different meaning in JavaScript.

Rust can infer the type after declaration and initialization?
That’s impressive!

Why did rust took over the concept of a vector from C++?
The name is so weird because I associate it with mathematical vectors as points or directions in a space.
But rust vectors are more like lists or arrays.

Using let in javascript gives a mutable object. Here using let implicitly means it's not mutable. You have to explicitly state it's mutable by using the mut keyword. So no it's not Javascript.

@Lensflare mathematicians.... Pft.

They cried in Java, they cried in C++...

They cry in Rust.

Let them SUFFER. *mwah hahahah*

A wild deno appears

@Lensflare In linear algebra they're exactly that; lists of numbers.

@lbfalvy I doubt that. What makes a vector in mathematics is that there are specific operations that can be applied to them. Like adding or forming a dot product.
Take a complex number for example. It’s not just a tuple of 2 numbers. Similarly, a vector is not just a list of numbers.

@Lensflare Well yeah, but a key property of linear vector spaces is that they can be defined over rings (I think? My algebra is rusty) with a set number of bases which doesn't change. This implies an integer dimensionality for a given space and a natural representation of any vector in it using the real coefficients of a chosen (perfectly arbitrary) set of bases. It's not how they're defined but it's very fundamental to what makes linear vector spaces.
