Big S
— Rust's missing String
literal
Hey. Sometimes we need a String
but all we have is a string literal (an
&'static str
). I mean, I think we've all seen eye-searing code filled with
"this".to_string()
, "that".to_owned()
, or String::from("theother")
.
OMG somebody just do something about it.
Introducing S
, the three-char solution to Rust's stupidest papercut.
Check it out:
do_something_lame;
🙄
use S;
do_something_rad;
