Rust Scalar and Compound Types: Where Are My C# Classes?

Rust Scalar and Compound Types: Where Are My C# Classes?

When I first started exploring Rust, one of my instincts was to reach for a class. You know the drill. Need to model some data? Write a class, slap a few properties on it, and maybe add a constructor or two.

But Rust had other plans.

On Day 6, I dug into Rust’s scalar and compound types and quickly realized that Rust doesn’t want you to start with classes. Instead, it hands you a small set of powerful primitives and says, “Let’s build something lean.”
