# Subtyping and Variance

Subtyping is implicit and can occur at any stage in type checking or
inference. Subtyping in Rust is very restricted and occurs only due to
inference. Subtyping is restricted to two cases:
variance with respect to lifetimes and between types with higher ranked
lifetimes. If we were to erase lifetimes from types, then the only subtyping
would be due to type equality.
