Wow, it's almost as long as the Every UUID V4 or Every Floating Point Number pages.

"And in tonight's news, the worldwide CRM solution Salesforce had a global outage affecting one hundred percent of its customer base. We interviewed users of the service to find out the scope of the impact. Everyone agreed that they were impacted, but strangely, nobody could describe _in what way_ they were affected."

Something that’s both civilised and representative of the future. Stratagema? Or Mornington Crescent?

Perhaps that company failed because it chose to port things to Rust and not because of Rust itself? Or any other number of reasons that survivorship bias might be mistaking.


Lol, so Rust is perfect until you actually try to do something with it.


I emphasised too much in that comment perhaps. I was going for because it chose to port things, meaning that maybe that company wasted time working on porting things instead of working on things needed to survive.

I’m surprised they’re not charging on a $/GB saved model.
