It is covered, I rewrote the section on it recently: http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial.html#vectors-and-strings It doesn't go out of the way to explain that they're not owned boxes, but I don't think it should. It's a confusing language wart and should be fixed as far as I am concerned. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
