@DrRac27 so it is! sadly it's essentially a throwaway reference so easy to overlook. I'm mostly questioning why it's not the default for arbitrary examples of "print this value" in sample codeblocks. Could be the ownership thing, I guess, but.
@bitprophet From personal experience with a #rust newbie (but otherwise experienced IT pro): dbg!() moves its argument, so without & the borrow checker will get you. Also, the output of dbg! is too obtrusive.
@juergen yea I’ve been noticing the move angle, which is an annoying downside, but still slightly less annoying than using println for the most trivial cases. I think. 🧐
@juergen yea, for anything nontrivial println is arguably more useful, but when you're doing real basic stuff and just want to see WHAT IS THE THING HERE, having to do a single “{:?}" was irritating and dbg helps with that 😂
