Passing raw arrays or lists across your system leads to duplicated logic, weak encapsulation, and hidden business rules. By reifying collections into dedicated, type-safe objects, you align your code with real-world concepts, centralize behavior, and reduce primitive obsession. Typed collection classes improve clarity, safety, and maintainability—often with negligible performance cost.

Rust 1.77.1 therefore disables the new Cargo behavior on Windows for targets that use MSVC. There are no changes for other targets. We plan to eventually re-enable debuginfo stripping in release mode in a later Rust release.
