        for real. I’m very lucky to have landed a job in it, but it’s a dry market for anyone looking if they don’t want to be doing crypto. Rust has made a big name for itself but still isn’t that popular where it matters.

      I just wish it finally had “efficient inheritance”.

      We want some way to have code sharing which is more efficient than traits (in terms of time and space) and more flexible than enums. Our primary use case is the Servo DOM, but we would like this to be more general purpose too. Our constraints are:

      • cheap field access from internal methods;
      • cheap dynamic dispatch of methods;
      • cheap downcasting;
      • thin pointers;
      • sharing of fields and methods between definitions;
      • safe, i.e., doesn’t require a bunch of transmutes or other unsafe code to be usable.

      But that discussions seems to have died down and nobody’s working on it.
