The Rust Programming Handbook
By :
This chapter gently guided us through the fascinating ways Rust integrates core object-oriented programming ideas.
We discovered that encapsulation is like wrapping data in structs or enums and connecting behavior with impl blocks, making everything neat and organized. Rust’s module system and privacy rules help us control access, adding a layer of security.
When it comes to abstraction and polymorphism, traits come into play as Rust’s way of defining shared interfaces, enabling both static and dynamic dispatch, kind of like versatile tools for different tasks. Instead of relying on traditional inheritance, Rust embraces composition and uses traits with default methods and supertrait bounds to promote code reuse and build hierarchical relationships smoothly.
All these features work together beautifully, allowing us to implement popular OOP design patterns, such as the Builder and State patterns, with perhaps even better type safety and confidence...
