Rust/Variable/Type/Compound/Array

• unlike Rust/Variable/Type/Compound/Tuple, every element must have the same type
  • in this aspec it's similar to Py/TypedDict
  • the type can use rust's type inference; you don't need to be explicit. In that sense it's perhaps a bit like python's type checking
  • rust

    fn test_arrays() {
        let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; 
      	// rust analyzer will turn this into ...
        let a: [i32; 5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
      
      	let months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",
                  "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
    
    }
    
    

• has a fixed length
• You can declare it like this ... which is a shorthand for [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3] - how weird is this? it reminds me of c74/max in a weird way.
  • rust

    let a = [3; 5];
