Rust Platform

🎯 In Python, encapsulation is by convention. You use a leading underscore to signal "private," but anyone can still access it:

class Sensor:
    def __init__(self, name, value):
        self.name = name
        self._value = value  # "private" — but not really

    @property
    def value(self):
        return self._value

s = Sensor("temp", 72)
s._value = -999  # oops — nothing stops this

Python's @property gives you a getter, but there's no enforcement. A determined caller can always reach in and modify _value directly.

Rust enforces privacy at compile time. If a field isn't pub, code outside the module literally cannot access it — the compiler rejects it.

Struct field visibility

In Rust, struct fields have their …
