Suggestions are welcome; I'm still learning Rust.

To put context around my provocative comment earlier: I write C++ professionally. C++ is the right choice for my organization, though for purely historical reasons. In the long run, I think we'd all be better off if Rust or similar languages replaced their predecessors. So my comment came from a place of personal frustration, the same that led me to find Rust in the first place.

The old wording was too negative; I'm just excited to show that contest programming, which one might imagine to be hard to translate, is not only practical but indeed arguably nicer in Rust.

Just be careful to not adapt the michaelochurch approach. Very risky :)
