nostr:npub1fjwlesmfvyz42q295yfp3cj2qmnty87nfpc8ddjrhsjyysqpa22snfpdqw I would love to correct anyone in the Rust community who claims that Rust invented algebraic data types. I didn't see someone say that yet.

Of course, it is a feature. And people will say "Rust has X". They don't have to say "Rust has X where X was first invented by Y and implemented by Z1, Z2, …"

It is worth noting that Rust is not only targeted at systems programming. It is a general purpose language that you can get as low level with it as you want.
