> the developer who should know the application better than the systems administrator

On the other hand, the administrator knows their system better than the developer. There could be certain network connections or file paths that you want to block on one system but not on another.

To be fair, it brought not only cringe, also autocomplete on steroids. The architecture is good at applications that need pattern recognition.

You could probably build a mirror with `wget -r` without writing a crawler.

Then in principle, we could curate a set of useful Rust crates, treat the set as a single dependency, and be on the same page as C++ with Boost.

I don't think that you violated any guidelines. I think that the downvotes for your parent comment are only an expression of disagreement with what you propose. If I can suggest, don't take it personally.

Turning `'` into `lifetime` would make Rust code that needs explicit lifetimes extremely verbose. That would make code harder to keep on the same line, for no added benefit in expressiveness.

Allowing both `'` and `lifetime` in the syntax would make the language more confusing to anyone who is learning it, and it opens up unproductive debates about syntax in code bases if two authors have conflicting preferences.

Is AutoHotkey like Emacs keybindings and hooks but for the whole OS?
