+title:  "Language Design: Rust's Almost-Rules and Almost-Almost-Rules"
+date:   2024-08-05
+---
+
+(Inspired by [Almost Rules](https://matklad.github.io/2022/07/10/almost-rules.html).)

+### Syntax edition
+
+##### `:` is followed by a type
+
+- except inside struct initializers, where it is followed by a value
+- except function result types, that are preceded with `->`
+
+##### generics use `<>`
+
+- except in expression contexts, where `::<>` is used
+
+##### invocations use `()`
+
+- except where `{}` or `[]` is used, because "they convey important information"
+  - except for macro invocations, where `()`, `{}`, `[]` are equivalent and interchangeable
+
+##### `T {}` initializes a struct
+
+- except inside an `if`, where `{` starts a branch
+
+##### Rust has no varargs
+
+- except for `extern` functions
+- except for macros
+
+##### `let` introduces a binding
+
+- except in pattern matching, where `let` is implied
+  - except if the match starts with an uppercase letter, then it refers to the identifiers in the outer scope
+  - except in macro pattern matching, where it matches it as an identifier verbatim
+
+##### types with a total order implement `Eq` and `Ord`
+
+- except `f64` and `f32`, which do not
