I have been programming in Rust for about 8 years now. I love the language. But I feel I have some confessions I must make.

1. I don’t know if I use tabs or spaces in my final code. I just assume that it all get solved correctly by cargo fmt. I don’t even understand that people have been arguing about this for real? I vaguely remember this being important in C and C++, but I am hoping I never go back to those dark days.

2. I never do linebreaks, not even when adding my semicolons. I hit “:w” and if shit doesn’t move around on my screen, I fucked up somewhere.

3. The only lifetime I ever use is '_, 'a or 'static otherwise I give up

4. Wtf is the 'de lifetime in serde deserialize??

5. Rocket is the best web server

6. I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it’s not better, and I argue that it is.

Okay, got that of my chest. Never dared telling anyone this before. Feels scary
