I use this all the time. It's features like these that sell Rust for me honestly; even if you wrapped your whole program in `unsafe` it would still be a massively better language than C++ or C.

C++ lambdas can be used to achieve a similar result, not as pretty though https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines... But in general I agree!

Many languages use this idiom. Some popular ones even. So while it's good that Rust joined them, it's hardly a differentiator.
