    A Cautionary Tale of Hermits, Thread Messaging, and Async Traits

    Todays episode covers 7 different articles, starting with a "cautionary tale" against Rust in an early-stage startup context. Then I'll move on to a new testing tool from Facebook, an introduction to shared-memory worker threads in WebAssembly, a quick note about what's new in SeaORM v0.10, a new and interesting project from 1Password called Typeshare, async traits in the nightly compiler, and finally a detailed article on how Rust protects you when you're intentionally writing code that *isn't* async.
