Conversation about lifetimes on #rust, on mozilla's irc network,
prompted by hamnox and lahwran attempting to understand lifetimes.

Timestamps are in Mountain time. 

1-30 07:09.06pm <lahwran> so we're reading this http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ownership.html
1-30 07:09.28pm <lahwran> it mentions lifetimes a lot, and gives examples of where to use lifetimes, and the effects of lifetimes, but it has yet to actually, you know, describe what a lifetime is
1-30 07:09.48pm <theme> lahwran, I actually treat lifetimes as dependency markers
1-30 07:10.05pm <lahwran> we (my partner and I) have made several guesses as we read as to what lifetimes are, based on inference, but then we got to the point where a function used a lifetime both for an input and an output
1-30 07:10.06pm <Havvy> They're descriptions to how long a value lives.

All of these are "as long as not at huge expense to the others"; any would be bad on their own.

(in machine-learning-nerd terms, read these as a series of objective functions, and evaluate code based on these as something approximately like the sum of squared errors function. In non-machine-learning-nerd terms, one should try to minimize how much code breaks each of these rules individually. They are not priority sorted.)

• Beautiful is better than ugly - while this is hopefully obvious, looking better is an acceptable thing to aim for.

• Explicit is better than implicit - only delegate to implicit things that are sufficiently common to not be confusing.

• Simple is better than complex - do make things implicit that will be obvious anyway.
