Aren't you müde from writing Rust programs in English? Do you like saying "scheiße" a lot? Would you like to try something different, in an exotic and funny-sounding language? Would you want to bring some German touch to your programs?

rost (German for Rust) is here to save your day, as it allows you to write Rust programs in German, using German keywords, German function names, German idioms.

You don't feel at ease using only German words? Don't worry! German Rust is fully compatible with English-Rust, so you can mix both at your convenience.

Here's an example of what can be achieved with Rost:

rost::rost! {
    benutze std::sammlungen::Wörterbuch als Wöbu;

    eigenschaft SchlüsselWert {
        funktion schreibe(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichenkette, wert: Zeichenkette);
        funktion lese(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichenkette) -> Ergebnis<Möglichkeit<&Zeichenkette>, Zeichenkette>;
    }

    statisch änd WÖRTERBUCH: Möglichkeit<Wöbu<Zeichenkette, Zeichenkette>> = Nichts;

    struktur Konkret;

    umstz SchlüsselWert für Konkret {

        funktion schreibe(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichenkette, wert: Zeichenkette) {
            lass wöbu = gefährlich {
                WÖRTERBUCH.hole_oder_füge_ein_mit(Standard::standard)
            };
            wöbu.einfügen(schlsl, wert);
        }

        funktion lese(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichenkette) -> Ergebnis<Möglichkeit<&Zeichenkette>, Zeichenkette> {
            wenn lass Etwas(wöbu) = gefährlich { WÖRTERBUCH.als_ref() } {
                Gut(wöbu.hole(&schlsl))
            } anderenfalls {
                Fehler("Holt das Wörterbuch".hinein())
            }
        }
    }
}

See the examples to get a rough sense of the whole syntax. Gut so!

• the French and Dutch can do it, so we can as well!

First of all, vielen Dank for considering participating to this joke, the German government will thank you later!
