  1. 52:15 In Rust, I recently wrote a extension method "select" for bools. So the "ternary" expression "if c { a } else { b }" can also be written as "c.select(a, b)", so when I just choose one of two values based on some condition, the formatter will never turn this one line into 5 lines anymore.

  2. 53:10 But in Rust, there aren''t real ternaries. There's just if-else, and in this case, something like this is acceptalbe. But I still prefer early returns (breaks/continues) nowadays, where it's possible instead of using nested ifs. Sometimes I create new functions just to be able to return early.

  5.  @thewhitefalcon8539  Because I want to format consistently. And using the default rules is just the easiest and it's pretty good.
