**Fast and works with Rust**
|
|
|
|
- All of your favourite Rust libraries work with Mist
|
|
- Compiles directly into efficient Rust code
|
|
- Zero-cost abstractions, no runtime overhead
|
|
|
|
**Ergonomic development experience**
|
|
- C/C++ style syntax for quick onboarding
|
|
- Minimal friction compared to raw Rust
|
|
- Designed for fast, readable systems code
|
|
|
|
**Class and type system**
|
|
- class is syntactic sugar for a Rust struct with V Tables
|
|
- `class B : A` provides inheritance-style syntax over struct composition
|
|
- Classes and structs compile into the same underlying Rust type system model |
