## AI overview

Evan Miller offers a humorous first impression of Rust, discussing the language's name and comparing Rust's protective role in multithreaded software to the weather-resistant coating formed by rust on Corten steel. The article also includes a later update acknowledging that the author did not fully appreciate Rust's optimization levels.
