The way I see it, Rust is trying to do something novel -- imperative-style async/await in a 'true' systems language. That's a fundamentally hard problem, so their implementation is going to have warts. But it will serve

Ah, for amateur content creation people will probably be using the newer iPhones, no? A focus of Apple's marketing has been 'record 3d video on your phone, play it back on the headset'.

The Quest 3 is pretty admirable for that purpose. The resolution of the Vision Pro will probably make the experience a little better, but not significantly so. You're still going to be bottlenecked by the quality of the content itself.

Orwell was a far better essayist than a novelist, so it's a shame they don't get read as much. I highly recommend the one where he analyses some children's stories: https://orwell.ru/library/essays/b

People have free agency but are also susceptible to outside influence and propaganda. Nobody is a truly rational agent -- otherwise they wouldn't be committing genocide.
