@0atman watching your most recent video, I’m struck by what makes Rust so much more approachable and fun than any other language I've tried.

The compiler and clippy conspire to turn solving a problem in to a sequence of (usually) very quick games of whack-a-mole. Once I get over the hurdle of what I want the code to roughly look like, I'm guided on a wave of lots of little dopamine hits. It's thrilling.

I suspect (but won't assume) that you might feel the same way.

Smith's Definition of a Tool:

A tool is a device that enables you to expend fewer calories* performing a task.

If your tool - hardware or software - doesn't do that, then it's not a tool.

*or Joules, or any unit of energy you fancy.
