Just noticed this in the article that I think is not accurate:

"There is no inheritance in Rust. There are no fields in traits. There is simply no way of saying that in order to implement a trait, your type must have certain fields."

Traits can have implemented methods taking self, and if those methods refer to fields in self type-checking won't allow a struct to implement that trait without having those fields, no?
