This has been a common theme through Rusts's history. Things that were baked-in language constructs have gradually migrated to become library things with sugar enabled via traits. This is leading to towards a very simple, extensible language.

This is something which really excites me about Rust. Having constructs as fundamental as function application extensible via traits reminds me of Python's magic methods, but without the runtime overhead.
