A sidenote: Your blog's code formatting is awful. I would recommend that you embed one of the common solutions for code snippet syntax highlighting into your blog. I needed special motivation to continue reading your post past the first code sample. Edit: And then of course actually use the prominent guidelines for good-looking code in each language!

My apologies, I was in a hurry; I'll try to put more effort into presentation in future. Are there prominent guidelines for good-looking code in Rust?

  There's the Rust style guide[1] but it's not really that useful at the moment; however, 2 points of general advice: - make use of functions like `vec::from_fn`, `uint::range` and `some_number.times`, rather than writing `while`-loops with a counter explicitly. - use iterators[2,3] for traversing data structures, since it allows the data structure to optimise the accesses (e.g. the vector iterator avoids bound checks). However, all the tutorial/manual are out of date, and the documentation makes it very hard to find out about these functions; so it's definitely not the programmers fault when they turn out non-idiomatic Rust.

  Sorry, I really don't know much about Rust other than the occasional article I run into here on HN. Maybe someone else can point you towards a document. For Haskell, here are a few resources: - https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/has... - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6398996/good-haskell-source-to-read-and-learn-from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6398996/good-haskell-sour...
