change struct separator syntax from ";" to ","

[bblum]

Now that we don't write let for struct fields anymore, struct x { y: t1; z: t2; } looks hideous. I'd much rather it feel more like records: struct x { y: t1, z: t2 }.

[brson]

Something definitely needs to change here and this suggestion sounds reasonable to me.

I seem to constantly be writing , instead of ;. Even though ; is more consistent with C, I am +1 on this. , feels lighter and it mirrors the literal syntax, which I think is a general goal of Rust as I understand it.

[bblum]

my impression is that record literals were also planned to go away.

[bblum]

is it possible to optionally omit the last , before the }, like in the old records?

[pcwalton]

Yes.
