Honours
gollark: I assumed you were mostly complaining about traits taking time for humans to get used to, but sure.
gollark: Oh bees the compile time.
gollark: Also longer compile time.
gollark: Although I suppose you have larger binaries and mildly worse CPU cache use with that.
gollark: Rust™ traits are monomorphized (unless you explicitly boxinate then), no? And thus are actually mostly zero cost.
