Rust takes a lot of inspiration from functional languages, but I wouldn’t call it a functional language itself. But yeah, not suited to every application.

To poor for vegetables, lentils, beans, grains, and tofu? Meat imitations are currently expensive, but aren’t at all necessary.

I think it’s because some Microsoft computer had a dedicated button so you could do things like Office+W or Office+P (or apparently Office+L), but they had to make it use an actual keyboard input so they used a string of modifiers that wouldn’t be used by accident.

Why wouldn’t they?
