RISC-V OS using Rust: Graphics

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If a language has a feature, people will use it, encouraged or not. So I really don't see the argument there.

Of the examples given, Rust can only do the first one, overrides + because it is treated as just another method call. Assignments struct constructors and dereferencing always do what they look like they are doing as they cannot be overriden.

You can also use asm blocks (or string literals casted to function pointers) to wreak all kinds of havok. Oddly, noone seems particularly concerned about that.
