I, for one, am just /shocked/ that Baroness Cass (of the Cass Report) is trying to limit people's personal freedoms.

This argument also seems to apply to every other form of data about yourself. Once someone has access to your computer, I think the battle of preventing them from finding out about you is kinda over?

Yes, but that's where the discussion is, link might be changed later.

  continue was called loop for some reason

How strange! Does anyone know why?

There was an early rule that Rust keywords should be five characters or less. I would guess it's because of this rule. I believe loop turned into cont to satisfy this rule, and then eventually we relaxed the rule, and it became continue.

Whoa, do you know who and why came up with that? So strange, making it less readable on purpose?

Probably for the same reason that most new language these days cannot bring themselves to just use "function" and instead have "fn", "fun", "func", etc. It's a headlong pursuit of conciseness for the sake of conciseness.

IIRC it was just a personal preference of Graydon's back then. I'm also not sure it was intended to live forever, just something to try and nudge things in a particular direction.

Terseness doesn't inherently mean less readable.

I do think that that rule is probably not one that would be good permanently.

I could see it… like “loop back around” or “continue loop”. I think good old “continue” is better and more familiar though :)
