   ICYMI, I started designing an insurance quote engine in Rust to help me learn the language.
   
   I say 'designing' but there's no actual design to it apart from doing it until it looks right.

      @thatbrickster Cool. I did not know you were a #Rusticrucian.

            @lnxw48a1 Is it not #rustaceans?

               @thatbrickster It probably is #Rustaceans, but that doesn't mean it can't also be #Rustacrucians. (That's the one that came to mind, so that's what I wrote.)

                  @lnxw48a1 Fair enough. I started the CSV stuff back in September and only got around to making it work with multiple filters today. The overhead adds a bit to the mean quote time of the scheme I chose to pilot in it, bringing it to ~180,000ns prior to arch optimisation.

         @lnxw48a1 It piqued my interest in October 2016 to the point where I wanted to learn it. I couldn't make things in C/C++ because of the headache involved but Rust made it look doable, and it was.
         
         As of right now, the simpler internal tools at work were rewritten in Rust from VB6 because it was more maintainable and efficient. People here call it a meme language but I like it.
