TRUST brings retro BASIC syntax to Rust without leaving the language

Hacker News·2w·wojtczyk

A developer created TRUST, a Rust macro system that lets you write Rust code using 1989-era BASIC syntax—line numbers, GOTO statements, and all. It's a legitimate experiment in language design that works within Rust's macro system rather than replacing it, making it more novelty than practical but genuinely clever.
