Thank you for writing this! I've been meaning to get a Jupyter notebook set up with Rust. By the way, I tried to sign up for the newsletter – since you also offered a 10% discount there, and was going to buy the book using that – but i

I often wish that the schema around domain names was reversed, to reflect something closer to Usenet. Instead of news.ycombinator.com we would use com.ycombinator.news, similar to how a news group might be rec.arts.punkrock or comp.os.linux
