For me, "crate" is now associated with anything rust (and I'm neither a rust person or a programmer) - if I see crate in relation to tech, "it has something to do with rust."

Interesting, I'll forever associate crates with vinyl records and DJing.. and I am a programmer, and not a DJ..

I guess context matters! ;-)

Funny how it means completely different things to different people. As a 18 year old I would never think of vinyl records when hearing "crates" :D

I'm with you! It's possible that at one time I thought as you (also being a music fan), but in the past 5 (?) years you can't trip but to find someone talking about rust in the tech spaces. Not only context, but era (point in time?) as well.
