Hey folks, two moderation-ish notes: 1. "Real men use VIM etc..." excludes women. We have Rust developers who aren't men, so please don't assume otherwise. I know it's just a joke, not intended to be sexist, etc., so there's no need to say that. Just don't do it again. 2. This discussion is getting a bit far from specifics of how to improve Rust. Please take it elsewhere. If there is interest, we may start a rust-cafe list in the vein of haskell-cafe for off-topic-ish discussions (or, in fact, anybody could, on Google Groups). But for now, please try to keep discussions on this list narrowly focused.
