Obligatory dismissive comment: > 0.2 No it ain't (in production). Anyway, this looks great. I LOVE the fact that you've provided a book too. Consider me a fan!

I think the most surprising thing about Rust modules is that you need to """pre-declare""" them, especially since Rust doesn't really use function prototypes. So when you try to mo…

Same vibe as diners who put down money on the table and take some away every time they don't feel doted on enough
