Explore the intricacies of method selection in Rust programming through this comprehensive 1-hour 14-minute conference talk. Delve into the mechanics behind `.call()` operations, understanding their purpose, challenges, and inner workings. Learn about introtype checking, method calls, probing techniques, and special rules for inherent methods. Examine extension candidates, pick algorithms, autoref considerations, and normalization processes. Gain insights into handling ambiguities, considering multiple candidates, and addressing additional considerations in method selection. By the end of this talk, acquire a deeper understanding of Rust's method selection process and its impact on efficient programming.
