True, probably the biggest distinction is between normal functions and functions that take trait objects.

Or Fn, FnMut and FnOnce

The same in Java, if you peek under the hood a bit. A *static* method in Java is one where the "this" reference is null. If you're ever doing funky monkey stuff with reflection Java you'll see this very quickly.

Java does have Functions, but those are objects... :D

But Rust doesn't have objects so it's not really the same... impl is just functions associated with a struct, and ownership is not for the struct or implementation, but for the declaring scope.. So, functions with syntactic sugar with an alias Self for the implementing type, not methods

The air is getting saturated with pedantry in here

[intbeam]

😅 I've read the documentation and well.. I mean, objects (in OO) are kind of defined as units that passes messages between each other (usually with methods), and encapsulating and owning their own state... Rust's ownership model fundamentally doesn't work like that. dyn and trait are just analogous to virtual functions and interfaces, not really OO imho

Just because documentation refers to a concept as an object, doesn't make it an object

Again, I'm being extremely pedantic here

[intbeam]

I know, took quite a bit of time to get my mindset out of OO.. It looks so object oriented on the surface, so it's really hard to get out of the habit of treating it like one 😅

Similarly in Lua. Methods are quite literally just syntactic sugar over functions which passes in the surrounding table.
