What problem does it solve?

Rust programs often struggle with designing clean, reusable abstractions. This section helps you understand how to apply traits, generics, associated types, and dispatch strategies to write flexible, maintainable Rust code without sacrificing performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Canonical guidance on when to use trait objects (dyn Trait) versus static dispatch with generics and impl Trait.
• Best practices for default methods, associated types, and the orphan/coherence rules to keep APIs ergonomic and safe.
• Use Case: library authors designing ergonomic APIs that adapt to multiple concrete types while preserving zero-cost abstraction.

Quick Start

Apply these guidelines to design Rust traits and generics in your codebase.
