Just checked the rust spec [0]. private in rust =>

Dont know if its been mentioned before but in Delphi / Object
Pascal private is accessible to everything in the same
module. Same as D.
This is interesting, thanks for the info.
I had no idea. It's either parallel gestation of a great idea,
or they took it from D!
Pascal has the same visibility attributes with the same semantics
since Turbo Pascal 5.5 (1989). The only addition was 'published'
attribute in 1995, somehow equivalent to 'export' in D.
And a vintage nostalgic ad :)
