rusteceans, i have a question
why is .unwrap()-ing an Err value like. the most common panic reason ever?

@thing because it's easy and error handling is annoying.

at least, we can grep for .unwrap() to fix all the places we're lazy. unlike some other languages where you need to Study it to find out where exceptions occur and are unhandled.

not that we ever do grep for .unwrap(). but y'know. we can.

@sodiboo @thing I just forbid unwrap everywhere, and expect is only allowed in tests

it makes your code a lot better

@sodiboo @thing This is not to toot my own horn /gen but practices like these are the reason for why you can just code something up in 2 days and deploy it on a webserver, have it running for 2 months straight, used by thousands of people, and never get a single crash or stuff like that. I remember when python was my primary choice of language (horrible) and my code wouldn't go 4 seconds without exploding at some unforseen thing
