Understand the trade-offs between dynamic dispatch with trait objects and static dispatch with generics in Rust through real-world examples.
Master Rust traits and generics — defining traits, trait bounds, default methods, trait objects, and generic data structures.
Demystify Rust's Deref, DerefMut, and AsRef traits with clear examples showing how smart pointers, coercions, and flexible APIs really work.
Master Rust's iterator trait, lazy adapters like map and filter, and consumers like collect and fold for fast, expressive data processing.
Rust traits look like interfaces from other languages, but the differences matter: associated types, blanket impls, coherence, and dynamic dispatch all behave their own way.
Understand how Rust traits define shared behavior, with default methods, trait bounds, derive, and a clear take on dyn Trait versus impl Trait.
