    C++: Nuh, uh …

    template <typename T>
    concept Crackable = requires(T obj) {
        { obj.crack() };
    };
    
    auto crack(Crackable auto& nut) {
        nut.crack();
    }

      This is dangerous. The object might not have the crack() method, and this bloats the compiled size by a lot if you use it with different types. There’s also no reason I can see to use concepts here. The saner way would probably be to use inheritance and objects to mimic Java interfaces.
