But it is true. My own biggest mistake when learning Rust was that I tried to torce Object Oriented paradigms on it. That went.. poorly. As soon as I went "fuck it, I just do it like you want" things went smoothly.

Sounds like an abusive relationship if im being honest. Your programming language shouldnt constrict you in those ways.
