> In Rust, there is exactly one way to create an instance of a struct: you provide a value for each of its fields. As a user of both rust and and C++, I certainly wouldn't consider the the lack of default constructors in rust to be a good thing. Especially for std types like Vec it is really annoying to have to initialize it explicitly. > The [dcl.init] section of the spec is about 16 pages long and there are about another dozen about how constructors work in the special member functions section. That is a bad argument if you're comparing to a language that doesnt have a spec. Maybe a complete, exhaustive rust spec would be much longer than the C++ standard?
