As your future colleague wondering what the hell that variable is for, thanks Go.
Isnt the syntax highlighting it as mever used?
So why would they wonder?
If it is a pure value, I'd assume yes, but if it is tied to a side effect (E.g. write its value to a file), then it would be not used but still could break your app if removed.
I'm not familiar with rust language specifically, but generally that's what could happen
