og_fmt — Will the real format! please stand up?

O.G. Rust Series™ — Rust as it really was

💯% True Rust · Accept No Substitutes 💯%

og_fmt brings back the legendary fmt! macro! Removed from Rust in 2013, fmt! is a more primal interpretation of the Rust string formatting paradigm. Some say that the renaming of fmt! to format! was the single largest mistake in the history of Rust. We'll never know what might have been, but we can still recapture a bit of that original formatting feeling.

Behold! fmt!

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate og_fmt;

fn main() {
    let msg = fmt!("Original fmt! is the #{} fmt!", 1);
    println!("{}", msg);
}
