It's so confusing to have multiple mod.rs files open in the IDE, and I'd love to give them better names. However, it seems I somehow missed this new feature and I cannot find anything on the internet (though I also have to say that finding information on file hierarchy in Rust is a problem on its own...). Can you send me a link?
Even though I'd gladly use it, I think that the new alternative has a number of downsides:
- When viewing the file and directory in a file explorer, they might be visually separated, which adds to confusion.
- The module files might get mixed up with other regular files and it is difficult to tell them apart.
However, I think that a good IDE should somehow bring the files and folders back together. Maybe just display modules instead of actual files.
Yeah I found it while searching searching some error messages I got while upgrading. Took a while to find back, but here it is: doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rus.. (along with the other changes)
