I think tuple indexing (or at least the syntax for it) was also inspired by Swift.

I am kind of hesitant about that... SML has had tuple indexing for forever, even if it was in a different syntax.

This should perhaps be if let expressions rather than bindings?

It seems that the swift docs call them 'optional bindings'.

I'm also wondering how much the previous languages are really of note in the Rust of today. The language was most likely quite different than it is today. |

Where do slices come from? |

Ok, I did some considerable re-arranging. Please review! |

Unicode Annex #31 rather than PEP #3131 should receive credit for the identifier pattern. It’d be useful from an academic perspective to include appropriate references. |

Working on providing an update now. |

@bjz status? |
