I did a bit of research on that in my last job and got the impression that encoder models might help.<p>They are well suited to check input for rule violations and are much cheaper to train and run than decoder models.<p>The downside is, they can&#x27;t fix issues by themselves.

I&#x27;m not sure you can really argue that Rust&#x27;s traits are <i>innovative</i>. Haskell typeclasses, OO-style abstract interfaces, and C++-style associated types were already well-known and well-established features. The particular mix of those features in Rust may be new, but the same could be said for Go&#x27;s...
