People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.
Traits are not inheritance. Box
is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.
It’s called a network effect and it’s the same reason everyone is on TikTok or Facebook or here. Like it or not when I started my project (a few months ago) people told me “you need to create a Twitter account, that’s where the people are”. I did, only post updates to the project, don’t use it to actually follow people, but I still have a few dozens followers.
