✓ One of the most reliable and correct software you'll ever write will be in Rust

This should come before it's argument for performance.

It's also in their vision: "[...]build reliable and efficient software": "reliable" comes first, "efficient" second.

Today, I had again the experience of WOFTAR (Works On First Try After Refactor):

  • refactored csv-diff, so that parsing and hashing csv are happening in different actors (as opposed to in one). All tests pass on first try. Magic!
