Nice! It's good to see libraries like these popping up, adding more value to the Rust ecosystem.
Coming from Ruby and Rails, I'm excited to dive into low-level programming with Rust. It is just so refreshing to have control over stuff that is totally abstracted away in Ruby, while being safe enough just to not shoot myself in the foot each time.
I will do, Steve! I follow you on Twitter so I'll ping you once I feel like I can write decent Rust code and have an acceptable level of low-level programming know-how.
Maybe I shall write a little blog post about it, so I can explain the major challenges a bit.
That'd be wondeful. I don't know how long you've written Ruby, but Jay Fields had a blog way back in the day that was just really basic stuff. I'd really like to see such a thing for Rust. So, I guess what I'm saying is, you can probably start something similar even before you feel like you can write 'decent' Rust code...
That's a lot of work, though, but I think someone is gonna do it at some point, I hope.

If you feel like it, when you do, please let me know how it goes. I'm really invested in trying to make that particular leap a success.
