Inspiration for more patterns about patterns

In that issue the fact that these issues should be taken from that blog post is not clear in my opinion.
Anyway I prefer smaller issues with respect to big ones, because it is impossible to follow too many discussions at the same time. Maybe that issue could link to this one? 😅

Yeah, let's see how it develops.

Yeah, we don't want to overlap with the rust api guidelines (which is also linked in the killercup article).

Let's discuss each of those individually:

• Builder pattern
• Typestates/Session types (PR)
• Public type aliases
• Use conversion traits
• Laziness: Use Iterators
• Laziness: Take closures
• Custom traits for input parameters
• Extension traits

Should we close this in favour of #116 ? I copied everything needed from this issue over.

[simonsan]

Agreed, discussions should still take place in smaller issues, it's an umbrella. i thought about opening an issue for each of the points in this issue actually. hence why i asked about closing. we could link from each of these issues to this one here to make clear, that there might be material taken from it

[MarcoIeni]

What you are suggesting is the opposite: too small issues 😂
I propose to keep the sub-issues as checklist (see the second comment) and split the discussion in different issues if and when needed :)

[simonsan]

Yeah, or even better use the discussion board for discussing how to write the patterns and keep the issues clean for actual issues, what do you think?

[MarcoIeni]

It depends for what you mean with "actual issues".

I think "discussions" are still in beta and they are more meant for "stack overflow" kind of random questions.
I wouldn't force users to use discussions over issues to express concerns about the content of this book.
