@ -15,21 +15,17 @@ As a multi-paradigm language, Rust supports writing code in
procedural, functional and object-oriented styles. Some of its
pleasant high-level features include:
* **Pattern matching and algebraic data types (enums).** As
popularized by functional languages, pattern matching on ADTs
provides a compact and expressive way to encode program logic.
* **Type inference.** Type annotations on local variable
declarations are optional.
* **Task-based concurrency.** Rust uses lightweight tasks that do
not share memory.
* **Higher-order functions.** Rust's efficient and flexible closures
are heavily relied on to provide iteration and other control
structures
* **Parametric polymorphism (generics).** Functions and types can be
parameterized over type variables with optional trait-based type
constraints.
* **Trait polymorphism.** Rust's type system features a unique
combination of type classes and object-oriented interfaces.
* **Type inference.** Type annotations on local variable declarations
are optional.
* **Safe task-based concurrency.** Rust's lightweight tasks do not share
memory and communicate through messages.
* **Higher-order functions.** Efficient and flexible closures provide
iteration and other control structures
* **Pattern matching and algebraic data types.** Pattern matching on
Rust's enums is a compact and expressive way to encode program
logic.
* **Polymorphism.** Rust has type-parameric functions and
types, type classes and OO-style interfaces.
