I've just read the entire thread (~250 posts by now) and the discussion is mainly about pro/cons of breaking changes to the language, not about the feature itself. The conclusion of that thread seems to be - Almost everyone agrees that non-virtual (=final) by default is a _good_ thing. - The lead developers feel that it's not worth a breaking change. - Many users don't agree with that decision. Where did you find a point against non-virtual by default? (Except that it's a breaking change, of course) Tobi _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
