#2About the ‵mod′ keyword in ‵use′, if you ask it on IRC I'm sure many people including me would point you the relevant PR that was made around October.
Nice article by the way.

#4Nice find with the grammar mismatch! Thanks for showing your methods in depth. I also liked the intro bit about knowing how to delve into a system. Seems like hoisting the entire Rust compiler distribution into one brain would be uncomfortable; there's so much going on in there.
Tangentially, digital archaeology is fascinating. I want to see some kind of VR "Git Simulator 201X" for exploring history in 3D. Maybe render commits projected spatially by date and be able to zoom into the diffs? If it could pull down all the PR comments from GitHub and then annotate the graph/blames... well, it might be useful, or might be more distracting than productive. Maybe a project for some rainy winter...

Thanks! There's more grammar and reference work to be done, hint hint to anyone reading this and looking for something to do on Rust ;)
I'd love to be able to follow a chunk of code around visually, wherever it gets moved, play back the commits touching it... not sure how it'd work exactly, but I think you're onto something there :)

Welcome to my brain. Please use a coaster.

#8Thanks so much for working on the grammar docs! This is much needed and very helpful, considering how quickly Rust's grammar has been evolving.
