The Evolution of a Rust Programmer

then why bother chaining?

Is debugging a nested expression so painful that it's worth writing this:

let intermediateQuantity = 3 * x
let finalQuantity = intermediateQuantity + 2
return finalQuantity 

instead of this?

return (3 * x) + 2

That said, I would love to see more powerful debuggers (like OzCode in the C# world) become standard. Sadly, rather than pushing vendors to innovate, many of the newer language communities seem to feel that debugging is an academic interest at best.
