Abandoning traditional constructors and all their strange special-cased rules in favor of regular old class methods that return Self was one of Rust’s best design decisions, I think. Super easy to reason about. Glad to see similar techniques being advocated for other languages.

Using @classmethod to create functions that return class instances honestly feels too much like Java and the class factory method pattern.

I don't agree with the blanket policy of banning __init__ methods
