But the author doesn't mention the most common way to pass named argument, so I include a comment from mjec over at lobster.rs that covers that (since I'm to lazy to write my own):
It's honestly strange that this isn't mentioned in the article since it mentions several much worse ways to do it!
ya, maybe it's the author's ruby background? For example, in languages like go and C, using structs for optional arguments is basically the norm.
I would say the main downside of that approach is that it doesn't give you an error for new options in the version that includes Default::default(). There might also be some issues with new options being breaking changes but I am not familiar enough with the rules for that to say.
