Quote of the Week

Heard recently creative coding experience which rust gives. What about unconscious coding experience - do whatever you can to make your code compile as late as you can, then go sleep and find your code correct and working in the morning

Woah, I know people say the Rust compiler is slow but I never had a Rust program that took all night to compile☺

– Maxim Vorobjov and ZiCog in our Quote of the Week Thread

Thanks to both of them and mmmmib for the suggestion!

Please submit quotes and vote for next week!
