Looks great, but it should be easier to get back to the front page http://seld.be/rustdoc/master/index.html I had to look at all links (tutorial, manual, documentation, ...) and guess which is the right one.

"What occurs to me is that the timing of this trend, and the fact that iOS — and the iPhone in particular — is its leading edge, is not coincidental."
