I think a lot of people conflate OOP and inheritance to mean the same thing. And inheritance is what should get the bad rap. It does not solve any problem I have seen any better than other language features (in particular interfaces/traits can solve a lot of the same problems) but inheritance causes far more problems overall.
But building the code out of logical units with fenced responisbilities is in my opinion a good way to structure code.
This is encapsulation, which is one of the better ideas from OOP languages. Though also not unique to them.
And I have a hard time to wrap my mind around some design choices in the language that would have been very easily solved with a more OOP like structure.
What design choices would those be? And how would they better fit into an OOP like structure? Note that rust is not anti OOP - it uses OOP techniques a lot throughout the code base. It just lack inheritance and replaces that with other IMO better features.
