I get it; you posted before reading the docs first. Don't get mad, it's okay - we've all done it. Take this as a learning experience and move on.

Rust does have auto; "let" and function literal parameter type inference, for a start. It just doesn't let you use it in the return type position.

Returns A range with each fun applied to all the elements. If there is more than one fun, the element type will be Tuple containing one element for each fun.

We already have this for food: services like Skip The Dishes, Uber Eats, etc.

Yes, or if you don't want to use a template function, for whatever reason, you can wrap the result of iota(1000) into an InputRangeObject (see https://dlang.org/phobos/std_range_in…
