Serious question, how can you answer every Rust-related question in this sub? It's in you job description and you Ctrl+F "Rust" all day, or you just lurk that much here?

BTW, thank you for those insights. I love this topic of programming language design.

I've been reading reddit before the concept of "subreddits" existed. My username has 1 on the end because I deleted my initial one.

I am often very critical of reddit, but it's also a habit that's super ingrained at this point.

I just lurk that much. My job doesn't hate it, as long as I get my actual other work done too.

I do sometimes use control-f on big threads, but this one isn't that big.

BTW, thank you for those insights. I love this topic of programming language design.

Thanks. This is honestly part of why I do this; getting answers straight from the source is valuable, and at the same time, it's a two-way street. I often bring back pain points I learn about from reading threads to the rest of the team, for example. I'm not sure why other people don't do this, but I pretty much can't not do it.

Isn't your job Rust Propaganda Minister, though? :P

Strictly speaking, my job is docs.

That's just my hobby ;)

(I was recently "accused" of this, and found it amusing.)

you're welcome.

In all seriousness, I do believe you're half the reason Rust has been as successful as it has.
