I'd like to start adding a 'quote of the week' to TWiR . So far though I've been terrible about taking note of good quotes from the Rust world. And also there is much more going on than I can follow personally. So this thread is to beg for people who see insightful or funny things said about or in r…

Nadrieril: Compared to match exhaustiveness which is NP-hard and trait solving which is undecidable, a polynomial complexity feels refreshingly sane…

This is going to show up here in some form or another: [image] Rust teams at Google are as productive as ones using Go, and more than twice as productive as teams using C++. - Lars Bergstrom, Director of Engineering at Google

Here's a more specific Bergstrom quote: I could not get 85 percent of this room to agree that we like M&M's.
