I generally agree with your sentiment.

It's interesting. Interfaces, traits, and mixins are all OOP concepts.

In what way? I do agree though, that it's annoying to yet again have a new language not have concurrency baked into the language. In some ways, Rust has excuses, because they want their concurrency primitives to support microcontroller, real-time Linux, and general purpose programming.
