For anyone interested in reading about CGP in Rust, here is the website:

https://contextgeneric.dev/

Just a FYI from their main page:

As of 2025, CGP remains in its early stages of development. While promising, it still has several rough edges, particularly in areas such as documentation, tooling, debugging techniques, community support, and ecosystem maturity.

...

At this stage, CGP is best suited for early adopters and potential contributors who are willing to experiment and help shape its future.



Clever work. I'm glad to see Rust is at the AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean stage of its lifecycle.

Look: patterns like this might unblock people locally but they point to a gap between what people want to say and what the base language allows them to express. In the long term, it's better to expand the language than devise increasingly heroic workarounds for syntactic sclerosis.
