Show HN: Tokamak – A Dependency Injection-Centric Server-Side Framework for Zig

  Server-side framework for Zig, relying heavily on dependency injection. (by cztomsik)

I love the use of `@hasDecl(root, "mime_types")`. I didn't realize that `@import("root")` was a thing.

Yes, fundamentally. In Rust if you take a parameter of generic type T without any bounds, you cannot call anything on it except for things which are defined for all types. If you specify bounds, only things required by the bounds can be called (+ the ones for all types). Another difference is where you get an error when you try pass something which doesn't adhere to a certain trait. In Rust you will get an error at the call site, not at the place of use (except if you don't specify any bounds).

Zig is doing just fine without any trait mechanism and it simplifies the language a lot but it does come up from time to time. The usual solution is to just get type information via @typeInfo and error out if the type is something you're not expecting [0]. Not everybody is happy about it though [1] because, among other things, it makes it more difficult to discover what the required type actually is.
