This paper explores typestate and newtype patterns for encoding functional state machines in Rust's type system, offering ways to enforce state validity at compile time. The approach leverages Rust's ownership and type system to model state transitions without runtime checks.
Background
Typestate is a programming pattern that uses Rust's type system to enforce valid state transitions. This ACM paper presents practical patterns for modeling stateful systems while leveraging Rust's zero-cost abstractions.
