Maybe you did want to use Brian in the example. Just wondering :-)

[steveklabnik]

[brson]

[steveklabnik]

lol, was hoping you wouldn't see :embarassed:

Fixing now.

Question, why is this in the "Strings" chapter?

[steveklabnik]

Because git is strange. nice catch, this should have conflicted. fixing...

[steveklabnik]

This is now good to go again.

Is it worth noting that subscripts also apply to many collections? e.g. let value = map[key].

[steveklabnik]

No, because then we have to fully explain those.

Should this also mention what happens with out-of-bounds indices? And perhaps that indices must always be non-negative (because e.g. in Python, negative indices index from the end)?

[steveklabnik]

I don't think so, because we haven't talked about task failure at all, and it's quite easy to try yourself and see what happens. Additionally, we don't need to pre-emptively say that Rust doesn't have some feature, either.

Remember, this guide isn't comprehensive, it's an introduction.
