Words

crates

crate 是 Rust 编程语言中的一个术语。

简单来说，crate 就是 Rust 的编译单元或代码包。你可以把它理解为其他语言中的“库”（library）或“模块包”。

The Matrix Rust SDK is made up of several crates that build on top of each other. The following crates are expected to be usable as direct dependencies:

Elvis operator (?:)

The Elvis operator (written as ?:) is a binary operator used in programming to provide a default fallback value when a primary expression evaluates to null, undefined, or false. It gets its name because the symbol, when viewed sideways, resembles Elvis Presley’s signature hairstyle.

sideways: with one side facing forwards 侧着；侧面朝前 resemble: to be like or similar to

Elvis Aaron Presley, known as the “King of Rock and Roll”, was an American singer and actor who revolutionized popular music by blending blues, country, and gospel. His stage presence and near-perfect pitch made him a cultural icon of the 20th century. Presley’s impact extended beyond music, as he’s credited with helping to end segregation in the US. He sold an estimated one billion records worldwide, more than any other artist in history.

segregation: the act or policy of separating people of different races, religions or sexes and treating them in a different way（对不同种族、宗教或性别的人所采取的）隔离并区别对待，隔离政策

Material surface is the central metaphor in material design. Each surface exists at a given elevation, which influences how that piece of surface visually relates to other surfaces and how that surface is modified by tonal variance.
