I didn't mean rust was fundamentally OOP, but that rust implements, through runtime traits, exactly the behavior you are criticizing OOP for. Sorry about that

Can you please point out exactly what I said when you say 'the behavior I'm criticizing OOP for'. Haskell typeclasses are very different from OOP inheritance or OOP classes. In any case, I don't see how that relates to the explicit criticisms I made.

> All in all, OOP is a toolkit for building bad abstractions: abstractions that do not easily model computation, that hide data.

That's a fundamental property of type erasure, which is not exclusive to OOP, and far from the extent of what modern OOP is about

I don't think you understand what type erasure is.
