I didn't know Vatic Labs was a Rust shop! (I joke, but they are a finance firm that is notoriously paranoid about you announcing where you work).
I'm glad to hear about your experience with the language as a developer. It's also been my experience that Rust has the magical power where your compile errors are almost always logic bugs. That's pretty cool from a psychological perspective, because you really feel like your C++ compiler is your enemy (or worse, your lawyer) while the Rust compiler is your friend.
The C++ developer experience is absolutely horrendous (with far too much of the unholiness that is cmake), and I hope that shedding some light on the situation can help people understand how to make it better.
