More power to you for defending or explaining Rust, but the context of the conversation is comparing multiple "record" types in C# as "bad" to the "one way" in Rust. It's hard to argue that Rust has a simpler story than C#.

There are a lot of almost orthogonal features one might choose for a record type:

Accessor: rec.x, rec.0, rec[0], match

Constant vs Mutable

Reference vs Value

Nominal vs Structural/Anonymous typing

Subtyping for inheritance

Subtyping for sum/union types

And more depending on the language (ownership in Rust)

> tuples store multiple values of the same type.

I'm sure this was a typo. :-)

It was a typo, thanks :)

I’m not trying to pass judgement on C#. I just don’t see a lot of these things as being that similar to each other.
