Eh. I write quite a bit of Rust and this story is not as simple as you tell it.

Both Pin Projection and the handling of async are pretty bad in my opinion and I write a lot of Rust code. The syntax is also slowly getting very funky with horrible additions like the recent `+ use <'a>` snytax. I also agree with the orphan rule but it makes a lot of code very ugly, fast.

For 1) The necessary safety guarantees downgrade to the level available in C all the time.

There is a reason for this. A lot of libraries were written at a time when the Rust compiler either rejected sound and safe code so you have to reach for unsafe, or `core` didn't yet deliver safe abstractions.

Your VPN provider shares their IP lists publicly. For a lot of website owners, blocking those is a simple way of getting rid of 80% of spam.

And yet I don’t get blocked. Curious.

VPNs are increasingly useless, with Cloudflare in front of 80% of the public net. I always wonder if people giving this advice try it themselves, most major sites are unusable with a common VPN provider.

I've seen your work for years now and I always wondered how you are so productive.

You have watched more anime than I have read books, not by far, but I find it impressive nonetheless. This is a long shot, but any recommendation to someone who really like Heavenly Delusion?

Haven't heard of Heavenly Delusion so I'm afraid I can't make any recommendations.
