+A struct can be initialized in a function like we do in Go. Rust has a nice shorthand: if the function args are named identically to the struct fields we don't have to pass the struct field name:
+
+```rust
+struct User {
+  name: String,
+  age: i8,
+}
+
+fn init_user(name: String, what: i8) -> User {
+  User {
+    name <- shorthand
+    age: what,
+  }
+}
+```
