The maintenance costs of equals is nearly zero. Scrolling over boilerplate seems like a real stretch, like saying a novel with a picture every chapter is harder to read.
I like that you can’t accidentally forget to update it, which is kinda nice but is rarely a concern.
And it’s a bit more readable, which is nice.
It’s better, but folks are talking like it’s Super Jesus and I think it’s more like finding a dollar in the parking lot.
Who said it was superjesus? It’s one of the smaller points on the long list of rusts advantages over other systems level PLs, but nonetheless notable. Especially if you consider that the feature that makes this possible is used for a ton of other useful stuff. And seriously, the boilerplate does matter, especially if you also add Ord, Hash and Debug impls. Your comparison with pictures in a noval makes no sense, since these add something valuable to the text and are easily distinguished from it. Heaps of boilerplate at a glance look just as meaningful as important sections of code, so being able to avoid it makes navigation significantly easier.
I said it was better, just not much better.
