@briankrebs For the record, in France he was worth 3B, but I think the exchange rate at the time was like 1 USD to 4 Francs, so definitely way more expensive to do...

@chaotin Thanks for the flashback... I was 11 when the movie came out. It left such an impression on geeky little me that I borrowed my aunt's typewriter to try and capture it. Of course 11 year old me didn't really do a great job. Learning that it was from an actual book was a great discovery, even if the book had much darker places. Haven't read it in a long time...

@codinghorror time to rewrite in rust? 🫥

@alip love the idea, just worried I'd use more unsafe blocks than needed just for that though 😁

@savanni I just started playing with my project again today, I'll give that pattern a more serious try as well. Thanks for letting me know, let's rediscuss it in a little while :)

@savanni curious what others will say. I occasionally used something like `Result<Stuff, FatalErrors>>` with Stuff enumerating both the happy path and possible errors. Fatal errors get propagated quickly, and the actual local issues go in an exhaustive match.
