what's the rust consensus on early returns
-
Yeah I use it in Ruby all the time. I tend to not use it in Rust only because 99% of the time you have ? for that kind of thing
It's also much more rare in Rust to have a function with those sort of guard clauses and no return value. Presumably it's only being called for side effects, which (in my experience) often means at least returning a `Result`. `if !condition { return Err(ConditionNotMet); }`

I do a fair amount of `return expr if condition` in ruby too -- would one-lining `if condition { return expr }` be considered bad style?
-
Personally I thing "the function will return early if this condition is met" is something that deserves to stand out so I'd want the long form if in both languages.
