Thanks to the Pipa Index and actually working in the open, I’m able to publish what I’m working on! Have a look :)

I’ve been thinking for a little while that I should look into trying to contribute to the Rust compiler, since it’d be fun if I could understand what’s going on under the hood better. I’ve done a bit in the Zig stdlib, but nothing on the compiler, and while I have some Co-authored-by:s in Ruby, I wouldn’t write home about it*.*

And so sans any context whatsoever, I start to say out loud: “y’know, I think it’s finally time I—”

Annie cuts me off sharply: “just use rustup.”

Ow /s
