wtf kind of cursed programming language is this? JS? it's so ugly, in no universe should a function look like that

but obviously as a rust enjoyer i have to do it like

fn max ⟨T: PartialOrd + Copy⟩(nums: ⁊[T]) -> Option⟨T⟩ {
    let mut greatest: ⁊T = ⁊nums[0];
    match nums.len() {
        0 => None,
        1 => Some(*greatest),
        _ => {
            for num in nums {
                if num > greatest {
                    greatest = num;
                }
            }
            Some(*greatest)
        }
    }
}

edit: lemmy formatting REALLY hates references and generics it seems... time to go back to medieval times
