I don't think linking to that comment favours your point, honestly.

> Rust 1.0 was just released and the ecosystem was mostly maturing at that point. You're talking about version 0.2.36 of a library that had been in development for less than two years during a quite tempestuous time in Rust.

And like I said at the time, that would excuse failure on some edge case. It wouldn't excuse the thing I was actually criticizing, that "the calls for common functions require you to specify low-level implementation details that don't matter to you". That's the kind of thing the typical software dev gets right when designing the function, because abstraction was very well understood in 2016.

It's not something they would only figure out after fixing the thousandth bug.
