So UdpSocket should really be called DatagramSocket, UDP being the protocol that operates on these datagrams?

Surprising that they got such a fundamental thing wrong.

That happens when someones learning project ("I rewrite a library in the new language I want to learn") ends up in productive code.

This is in the standard library; it's not a learning project. And it also isn't even incorrect - see erk__'s comment.
Rust is an excellent language and fully capable of production use.

  It's not, it's the `socket2` library. The standard sockets don't allow (ab)using actual `UdpSocket`s as a different kind of datagram socket.

  Sure it does.
  let f = std::fs::File::open("/dev/null").unwrap(); let f: std::os::fd::OwnedFd = f.into(); let socket: std::net::UdpSocket = f.into();
  This is really no different. In this example it's not even a socket.

  We're talking about UdpSocket: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/net/struct.UdpSocket.ht...
