Yes, and this is great, I just meant that in Rust 99% of code that's returning success/failure is using `Result` because it's in the standard library, whereas in C++ there's not an equivalent. `mozilla::Result` is great and I hope we can convert lots of Gecko code to use it, but we have *a lot* of Gecko code that's not already there. -Ted _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
