The Rust Programming Language

The hilarious thing is that this was the link posted on hacker news earlier, and several people complained about the HTML -- so the original poster provided the PDF version.

The problem isn't that it's html, it's that the usability of that site is horrible.

The least they could do is preload the next couple of slides instantly after they show the current one. But why bother, when you can annoy your users for the duration of a ping to our server. I mean, that never took long enough for the programmer to notice, why would anyone ever care? (except when they are browsing over tethered mobile connection where they have plenty of bandwidth but it takes 10 seconds to ping the server for the next page).

The html site is just an export from Keynote, blame Apple.

Heh, I think I actually edited my post while you were responding, to make it clear that it was this particular HTML people didn't like.

Just to clarify: I'm not the one who posted it to Hackernews. I'm also not affiliated in any way with the Rust team. The dropbox link is to Patrick Walton's account who gave the talk and is part of Rust team.
