> When developing programs, we have to solve many problems. A program can be viewed as a solution to a problem. It can also be viewed as a collection of solutions to many different problems. All of these solutions work together to solve a bigger problem.

> There are many problems that share the same form. Due to the fact that Rust is not object-oriented design patterns vary with respect to other object-oriented programming languages. While the details are different, since they have the same form they can be solved using the same fundamental methods.
> 
> [Design patterns](https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/patterns/index.html) are methods to solve common problems when writing software.
> 
> [Anti-patterns](https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/anti_patterns/index.html) are methods to solve these same common problems.
> 
> However, while design patterns give us benefits, anti-patterns create more problems.
> 
> [Idioms](https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/idioms/index.html) are guidelines to follow when coding. They are social norms of the community. You can break them, but if you do you should have a good reason for it.
