Understanding Rust futures by going way too deep

[kbridge]

I found something wrong on this page:

https://fasterthanli.me/articles/understanding-rust-futures-by-going-way-too-deep#position=10.1

Here's what it is:

pub const URL_1: &str = "https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-the-box";
pub const URL_2: &str = "https://fasterthanli.me/series/advent-of-code-2020/part-13";

I don't get why pub is necessary here except to suppress the "constant is never used" warning. Maybe some clarification is needed.

That’s probably right — I don’t consider “unnecessary use of pub” necessarily a bug in exploratory code like this (or even in applications in general).

if we were writing a library and we wanted to uphold compatibility guarantees then I’d certainly be more worried about it + recommend using cargo-semver

my instinct is that there’s at least another hundred of these throughout my current body of works, but.. don’t close that issue yet, we’ll surely get that one fixed!

I ended up fixing this anyway x) Thanks!
