Isn’t ADT abbreviation for Abstract Data Type? Or does it depend in context nowadays?

Context. It means algebraic data type here.

You answered your own question: it depends and the context and is confusing imo. Both are very common in compsci

No I didn’t, I provided two options and asked which case it was. I could’ve assumed OP had used the wrong abbreviation.

Wait until you switch to unions in rust and ask yourself whether it is a union or a struct.
