-# Types in Rust, Typescript and Java
-
-I find programming languages very interesting, but what I find even more interesting is comparing them
-and seeing their similarities and differences. So let's do that!
-
-## Employees
-
-Say you want to build an employee management program. You could model the employees like this:
-
-```java
-public class Employee {
-    public String name;
-    public int number;
-}
-```
-
-> But using public fields in Java is bad practice?
-
-Go away, I don't care.
-
-```ts
-type Employee = {
-    name: string;
-    number: number;
-}
-```
-
-```rust
-struct Employee {
-    pub name: String,
-    pub number: i32,
-}
-```
-
-They look very similar, don't they? Sure, the syntax differs a bit and Typescript only allows floats (yikes) but they
-feel like they are the same. 
-
-Now we crate a function to print their names.
-
-```java
-public class Employee {
-    public static void printName(Employee employee) {
-        System.out.println(employee.name);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-> Why is the method static???
-
-Because I decided so.
-
-```ts
-const printName = (employee: Employee) => {
-    console.log(employee.name)
-};
-```
-
-```rust
-fn print_name(employee: Employee) {
-    println!("{}", employee.name);
-}
-```
-
-
-Still nothing special. Time to call it!
-
-```java
-Employee.printName(new Employee("nils", 1));
-```
-
-> Assuming we have ~~written~~ auto-generated a constructor
-
-```ts
-printName({ name: 'nils', number: 1 })
-```
-
-```rust
-print_name(Employee { name: "nils".to_owned(), number: 1 })
-```
-
-> What are you doing with the `to_owned` on the string?
-
-Rust strings are complicated.
-
-Hmm, this is interesting. There is one big difference among the three calls: `{ name: 'nils', number: 1 }`. 
-The Typescript code is not saying that its creating an `Employee`, it's just creating some object. What does that mean?
-
-## Structural Typing
-
-That's because Typescript uses structural typing. To quote wikipedia:
-> A structural type system is a major class of type systems in which type compatibility and 
-> equivalence are determined by the type's actual structure or definition and not by 
-> other characteristics such as its name or place of declaration. 
-
-Structural typing means that the type checker only looks at the structure of the types to see whether they match, instead
-of looking at the names (how Java and Rust do it).
