Appreciate your thoughtful reply! One question. Regarding this bit: > He did investigate Rust to a certain extent, but bounced hard. His chosen program didn’t really show off Rust’s strengths, because he started by trying to call select and write essentially the same program that he would have written in C. That’s a pretty painful way to go. Is this stating that he was writing the Rust version similarly to how he would have written it in C because that was the most natural way to do it in Rust or simply because it was the first path he went down? In other words, was your point that Rust is a fundamentally poor fit for this problem, or was it that his lack of experience with the language took him down the wrong path? Thanks!
