I do believe that Rust is what every programmer should use nowadays, especially those who are interested in systems programming. Although I don't like some aspects of its syntax, I believe that it really improved my ability to think about my code and how it works because it forces me to be explicit when designing an API.

Nah, I've moved on to programing in quaternary. Antiquated concepts like syntax and API are irrelevant, only grammar matters.

Scope be fluid. Timeline expectations fixed. Every time. Estimate the unknown and be held to it.
Yes I guess that rust (or similar languages that might come up in the future) will become very important in systems programming, but right now I'm too lazy to learn another language. All the big projects I'm using use C anyways, so for some simple hacking it does the job. At work, I have to use python, so there's no incentive to learn it either. Are there any noteworthy projects that are fully implemented in rust today? Anything with good code quality, so that I could look at it should I ever decide to learn the language?

Good quality of life changes. First-time checkout and build of a larger package should hopefully speed up with the index changes, and OnceCell and OnceLock being standard is a welcome addition.

Sparse by default is a very nice change! Should make a noticeable change to our CI.
The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.70.0. Rust is a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
