    From IRC: <graydon> I think I named it after fungi. rusts are amazing creatures. <graydon> Five-lifecycle-phase heteroecious parasites. I mean, that's just _crazy_. <graydon> talk about over-engineered for survival <jonanin> what does that mean? :] <graydon> fungi are amazingly robust <graydon> to start, they are distributed organisms. not single cellular, but also no single point of failure. <graydon> then depending on the fungi, they have more than just the usual 2 lifecycle phases of critters like us (somatic and gamete) https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/27jvdt/internet_archaeology_the_definitive_endall_source/ https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/27jvdt/internet_archa...
