Counter example of what?

A graph representation of nodes based on JavaScript object model?

Fine, https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/examples/dom.ht...



Yeah but if you dig deeper you'll notice it is riddled with unsafe, casts and Deref misuse.

It's a brittle simulation of Inheritance. To transform a saying "Just because you can write Ada in C, doesn't make C Ada".


Post Scriptum: one way to prove this is that we could use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43XaZEn2aLc as a base.

How to prove.

Assume that we add struct inheritance to Rust (it looks similar to JS) - call it RustInh.

Does adding inheritance to Rust increase expressive power? If yes, then right now Rust can't express OOP concept as inheritance. I.e. is there a C[RustInh] = C[Rust].

And way to prove it is to look at Deref anti-patterns https://github.com/rust-unofficial/patterns/blob/main/anti_p...

I'm still not sure that fully captures my intuition of easy to write.
