Should have waited to post this until it was actually ready to be open sourced. Otherwise this is just kinda like "huh, neat" without anything else to do with

  In some cases it can be enough to know that it could be worth waiting for the release instead of putting more resources into a stack you're currently using. You might replace it entirely in a few months if the release turns out to be a product which you can and want to switch to, so it's ok to get a heads-up.

    Unfortunately, without being able to run the code yourself or at least seeing a benchmark, it's hard to commit to unreleased code like this

      True. But you're not committing to it, you're just waiting for the evaluation instead directing resources into a change which might become obsolete soon, should the new option be a viable one. In this case, where the code is coming from Cloudflare, you can be sure that they know what they're doing, that there is a high chance that it will be very high quality code. Apart from this, it's an interesting article from a technical perspective due to the various topics it touches. Also, in my case, where I'm looking for an new language to program in, where Rust and Go are the my main options, articles like these help me with the decision process on which one to choose. There's much more value to this article than it just being an announcement that sometime in the near future they will be releasing an open source project. It almost sounded like a "give me the code or shut up"-message.
