untrue. what bloats the modern web is the widespread AND suboptimal use of web frameworks. otherwise, making adblockers would dramatically speed up the loading of every website that uses ads, while it is true to some extent, is not the entire picture. anyways, i'm not saying that these libraries are always slow, but the users aren't aware of the performance characteristics and perf habits they should use while making use of such libraries. do you have any idea how many tens of layers of abstractions a "website" takes to reach your screen?

`impl Fn/FnOnce/FnMut` don't stand for function pointers, but rather function items in Rust, and as such they are zero sized so Rust can provide optimizations regarding function items specifically at compile time.

They can decay to function pointers (`$(unsafe)? $(extern)? fn($(inp),*) $(-> $(output))?`, example: unsafe extern fn() -> i32), which you can freely cast between function pointers, `*const/mut T` pointers or `usize`s. https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types/function-pointer.h...
