but Rust isn't a ML, it has ML aspects (and not few) but that's it Many ML patters do not work well in rust at all, and trying to force them will lead to a lot of unnecessarily complex code i.e. hard to write, maintain and potentially even read. And to be clear I mean rust specific issues, not issues due to not being familiar with ML. The issue is with ML in Rust you very easily hit some of the corners where Rust isn't yet fully flushed out, corners you tend to rarely run into if you write non-ML code with some ML aspects instead of ML code.
