C/C++ coders who've learned to love the Rust language: what was your path there? I'm finding that a lot of the ways I'd like to express, for instance, a parser aren't super convenient to do so, and I'm trying to figure out how to think in the sort of data structures that Rust encourages, while working in idioms that are going to be relatively performant (like I *think* that Char iterators to track the parsed location, rather than using indices, is a good idea unless I want t odo my own UTF-8).

Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
