Great write up of a problem that I'm glad Golang sidesteps

The problem with this is that it's systemic and central to Rusts trait-based ecosystem composition.

Go’s has a version but it's much smaller and more local. In Go, consumer-defined structural interfaces remove most of the pressure that causes the Rust problem in the first place which is producer led.

Sidesteps by not providing the same level of functionality.

As an analogy, it would be equivalent to say that "contrary to an airplane, a car sidesteps the problem of requiring wings".

Yes, indeed - but it doesn't fly.

Except writing rust doesn't feels like flying, it feels like falling.
One could argue flying is just controlled falling.
