Reminds me of this section of Rich Hickey talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEQfqNYNAc

There are similar issues in Rust to the one Hickey talks about in Java, in terms of cognitive overload and difficulty in a human parsing the program. However, I've found rust largely avoids issues with a bunch of different classes and with their own specific interfaces with a bunch of getters and setters in the HTTP servlet example because of Trait interface reuse.
