Awesome! I assume you intentionally released this on a Friday just to eat up everyone's weekends :) Thanks for the hard work. As I dig in, I'm hoping that Rust will fit in the "useful and safe" sweet spot in Simon Peyton Jones's diagram here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmkqocn0oQ

Hehe, we didn't choose it for any specific reason, but when we started to do the six-week cycle, it landed on a Friday. I like shipping on Friday for a number of reasons, but there's good reason to pick any particular day.

I actually liked it for selfish reasons. I got to stay out way past my bedtime and geek out about Rust at the Boston meetup. :D
