Rust eschews traditional object-oriented programming by focusing on data and behavior rather than objects. Composition is preferred over deep inheritance hierarchies, allowing complex types to be built by combining simpler ones. Traits enable polymorphism without inheritance, defining shared behavior separately from data for greater flexibility. Ownership and borrowing rules in Rust ensure safe and efficient data access, eliminating the need for many OOP patterns like getters and setters. Modularity is achieved through modules and crates, with privacy enforced at the module level rather than the class level. Enums and pattern matching provide a lightweight and exhaustive way to represent and handle different data types, replacing class hierarchies. Rust's approach decouples data and behavior, offering encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism without the complexities of inheritance and mutable state. This leads to more reliable and maintainable code by proving correctness to the compiler. The language encourages a data-oriented design, promoting composition over inheritance. Rust's philosophy centers on proving correctness, leading to a different coding style than OOP's object-centric approach.
