@burntsushi5 https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/b5bpbb/drew_devault_rust_is_not_a_good_c_replacement/ejchrx1/ … Hi, I found your comment after looking up the author of a recent certain blog post.
What is zero-overhead polymorphism and why is it a major source of complexity in Rust (and why does it make unsafe harder)?

Wow, that is an excellent answer and exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I have a lot to mull over...

Short context: In the context of that deliberately abrasive blog post, Rust not having multiple implementations (besides mrustc, which is amazing) _does_ in fact bother me. And I took your post re: zero-overhead generics to be a main source of _implementation_ complexity.
