ooh i now have the distinguished honor of having invented a new PL keyword doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/un…

unfortunately it's experimental and they are very likely to not keep "yeet" around, the keyword is a placeholder (the "do ..." syntax is used because the keyword can't be added backwards compatibly without an edition, which they won't do just for an experiment)

i *was* half-joking when i tweeted this but the more discussion i've seen the more serious i feel about `yeet` being a half-decent choice for this i think it's fine, and lends the language some fun character

for folks pointing out that it's slang and unfamiliar, i'll point out that almost certainly more people have "yeet" in their lexicon than use "static" or "for" to mean what programmers use them to mean i do get that it might be cringe though. idk.
