Could we rewrite German in Rust to make it faster?

There is a great American Experience episode about the history

At work we joke about zip lines between buildings

At IBM we used Lotus Notes as our shadow IT. Lotus Notes databases are just really ambitious excel spreadsheets and most of ours were written by self empowered excel hackers. It wa…
