+# Deriving
+
+Implementing traits like `Debug` and `Default` over and over again can become
+quite tedious. For that reason, Rust provides an [attribute][attributes] that
+allows you to let Rust automatically implement traits for you:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug)]
+struct Foo;
+
+fn main() {
+    println!("{:?}", Foo);
+}
+```

+However, deriving is limited to a certain set of traits:

+- [`Copy`](../core/marker/trait.Copy.html)
+- [`Debug`](../core/fmt/trait.Debug.html)
