@jsonstein It's safe, though, because the lifetimes of all references to that memory are tracked. While the drain iterator exists, nothing else is allowed to use that memory. Once it no longer exists, the allocated memory is free to be re-used by the HashMap implementation.
That's a lot more efficient than constantly freeing and re-allocating the memory. Zero-cost by default! ❤️
Strings do this when you use them as input buffers too. Only grow when they read a line/chunk that's larger.

hell yeah, I’d buy that… although I’d have expected them to be an ex-CPL instead ;^}

if memory serves me, the last former President who was arrested was Grant… it was for recklessly speeding his carriage down a DC street a 2nd time, the Marshal apologized for the necessity, and the former President said no… it was right action.

@NfNitLoop “Keeps the allocated memory for reuse” seems to go against the safety-above-all approach of Rust the reuse issue just struck me

@NfNitLoop thank you for the detailed reply.

@jsonstein Like many things, it depends.
If first use is right under the declaration, then the types are clear. If the code is "distant", not easy to see, explicit types can help.
When I do add types, I prefer the turbofish syntax:
let mut scores = HashMap::new::<String,i32>()

Please document this.
Use a strongly-typed language here.
Let's define a schema for this.
Let's put this data into a database.
We should automate this error-prone manual process.
We keep running into this problem which is solved by that tool. Let's use it.
Etc.

It's disheartening to me how few problems in tech are actually new.
If you don't value documentation, or (good/useful) testing, or peer review, or input validation, or strongly typed languages/schemas, separation of concerns, etc., then OF COURSE you're going to end up with an inscrutable pile of spaghetti code.
If you can't be bothered to even type out your contract so that a computer can "understand" it, how will a person?

Beyond his role as a Brooklyn Dodgers infielder, Robinson was a political activist, a liberal Republican, and a staunch advocate of civil rights. When he was invited to testify before the HUAC, he wasn't just leading the National League in batting average, but had also garnered the most All-Star Game votes, demonstrating his popularity among fans, regardless of their race.

On Aug 03, 1919: Hostility to Black Migrants Leads to Days of Racial Violence:
‘On July 27, 1919, a Black youth named Eugene Williams drowned at a Chicago beach after a white man struck him with a rock for drifting to the “white” side of Lake Michigan. When police refused to arrest the man who had thrown the rock, Black witnesses protested; white mobs responded with widespread violence that lasted five days.’
