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...

        Yes, I know, but the point is that the standard UdpSocket is correctly named as it doesn’t represent any other datagram socket. Uh, we’re pribably in agreement here actually.
