In this episode of Crust of Rust, we go over static and dynamic dispatch in Rust by diving deep into generics, monomorphization, and trait objects. As part of that, we also discuss what exactly the Sized trait is, what it's for, and how it interacts with Dynamically Sized traits.

You can read more about Rust monomorphization in the Rust book at [ Ссылка ]. It also has some good discussion about Trait Objects ([ Ссылка ]) and Dynamically Sized Types ([ Ссылка ]). For more details, the Rust reference also has more details on Trait Objects ([ Ссылка ]) and Object Safety ([ Ссылка ]), and so does the Rustonomicon ([ Ссылка ]).
