I think I read this as "Pike Rust" about 5 times before I got the joke. I guess it's time for that 2PM coffee.

Fortunately, that means the "pie crust" name is still available for a Pike[1]†-Rust project :-)

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_(programming_language) †: I have a particular fondness for Pike, because it's derived from the first programming language I ever used: LPC. Anyone else an LPC hacker?
