Also me: The middle two digits of your phone number taste like a circular orange plastic sponge.

I love this! This is such a good description of how we (often subconsciously) handle many of the trade-offs for design decisions in #rustlang. I'm really excited to see this written down!

What beliefs do you think are fundamental to Rust?

If a += b is a = (a + b) and a *= b is a = (a * b), then a == b should be a = (a = b). 😌
