"The achievements of Apollo were so bold and our subsequent efforts so timid that the energy of those years seems like a youthful dream." -Buzz Aldrin
43 years ago today, humanity took our first steps on another world, venturing nearly 400,000 kilometers from home and walking on the surface of the Moon.
Rust s Most Unrecognized Contributor
2021-05-02
I think the Rust language is a big success.
When I think back on it I am in awe:
so much had to go right to get where we are,
and there were so many opportunities to go wrong.
It took many tiny miracles for the Rust language to become what it has.
Those miracles didn’t happen by accident though:
each one was created by a real person,
and real people orchestrated them to become something great.
There are many who contributed to Rust becoming what it is.
One of the people most responsible for Rust’s success though is almost completely unrecognized.
