Awards and honours
gollark: ```rust if stack.len() < 2 { eprintln!("DOMAIN ERROR"); } else { let a = stack.pop().unwrap(); let b = stack.pop().unwrap();```I think you could abuse option combinators for this instead, though.
gollark: Apart from the `unwrap`s this seems reasonable.
gollark: How rustaceoformic.
gollark: <@356107472269869058> How has your rustaceoformic programming gone?
gollark: Oh, I was worried you were talking about me, but not actually that worried since I checked search and there wasn't anything so it was probably just (in that hypothetical world where you were talking about me) you lying for unknowable purposes.
