Now it finally clicked to me that Orwell's telescreen OS was written in Rust

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.

Every programming language has constrictions by the nature of having syntax.

In JavaScript you can declare a variable, set it to 5 (number), and then set it to the "hello" (string), but that's not allowed in e.g. C. Is C constricting me too much because I have to do it in C's way?

I believe you can do that in C pretty easily with a void pointer, someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Should you? Different question entirely.
