TIL: Rust's lack of HKTs can cause inductive cycles that ICE the compiler
오늘 알게 된 것: Rust의 HKT 부재가 유도 순환을 일으켜 컴파일러를 ICE로 크래시시키는 현상
Why it matters
A blog post explores how emulating Higher-Kinded Types (HKTs) in Rust using GATs on recursive types causes trait evaluation overflow (E0275) due to Rust's inductive trait solver creating circular dependency chains. The issue stems from Rust only supporting coinductive proof trees for auto-traits like Send/Sync, not for derived traits like PartialEq. A fix is expected with the next-generation trait solver, and the pattern can even trigger an internal compiler error (ICE) with experimental solver flags.
