Enums in Rust are spicier unions, and Rust boosters like to paint it as the perfect way to do it, because it's the best language ever, with no faults. If you disagree, they'll try to frame you as a Lunduke fan and a bigot.

    Never said that. In fact, enums have lots of issues that can add a lot of boilerplate code.

    But actually having data associated with the type system instead of just a flag is a lot more powerful and less prone to errors than classic enums

    You can also put functions on this union type that allows easy abstraction of what state the union is in
