gollark: Well, they are generally Rust's standard method for overloading things/implementing shared behavior, so it's more sensible than magically named methods.
gollark: Operator overloading: traits are more verbose, but make *a lot more sense* and are more consistent.
gollark: Ternary statements: I agree with that.

gollark: But Rust targets all *good* platforms.
