Containers and smart pointers are plain old generic data types, they don't deserve special construction or type syntax at all in my opinion. If there's something wrong with Rust's syntax for generics, lets fix that. I wouldn't mind not having `~T` in the language at all, but am not really opposed to including it because there's no harm. Choosing to special-case arbitrary non-trivial data structures like vectors and reference counted boxes *is* harmful because alternatives should *not* be second-class. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
