#Me crying and screaming and throwing up that I cant solve every Rust problem with the true superior paradigm of functional programming

Object Weenies will take one look at the Rust book, jump straight to Chapter 17 on OOP, and read nothing else. Then they'll be wondering why certain rusty nails can't be struck with the OO hammer.

My brother in Christ, if it takes 17 chapters to get to how to make an object, then there's 16 chapters worth of other ways to solve your problems.

Rust is not an object oriented language. It's not a functional language or a procedural language either. Its paradigm is borrow checker. If you want to generalize, you could say it's an affine type system, but that's a type system rather than a paradigm.

Rust uses whatever paradigm works in the moment. Please let go of your bias towards objects always being the best way.
