 # Quote of the Week
 
-> > Heard recently creative coding experience which rust gives. What about unconscious coding experience - do whatever you can to make your code compile as late as you can, then go sleep and find your code correct and working in the morning
->
-> Woah, I know people say the Rust compiler is slow but I never had a Rust program that took all night to compile☺
+> So, in this regard and IMO, C++ has a saner model here. And if C++ is saner than you, that's not a good sign ☺
