On: Enums in Rust – and why they feel better

Then make them tagged, that's what rust enums are, tagged unions, except they're called enums instead of unions.

[mattstir → sirwhinesalot]

I mean... yeah, that's exactly why Rust has tagged unions as well... both are useful in the right contexts, but tagged unions are easier to work with in general. That doesn't mean that (untagged) unions should be safe to work with though, because they can't be.
