That's great to see even if it's still early days. Thank you also for being a great proponent for the Rust community, your thoughtful and considered answers here have helped convince me to look into Rust more over the longer term, whereas the foam-at-the-mouth types completely send me in the other direction.

So the Ready at Dawn folks just put this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-txrCMvdms&feature=youtu.be
... this is one of the most interesting introductions to a Rust package that I've ever seen.

Yes I saw that not long after our discussion. Definitely interesting stuff and I agree, marvelously presented.

You're quite welcome, and thanks for the thanks.
I don’t have a ton of info about SEED, pretty much

but Embark claims that all their stuff is Rust-first. There’s some other rumblings at other places, but they’re just that, rumblings. As I said, excited to see what happens; it hasn’t happened yet!
And yeah, RIIR is annoying for sure.
