 # Quote of the Week
 
-> Sometimes you don't *want* the code to compile. The compiler's job is often to tell you that your code doesn't compile, rather than trying to find some meaning that allows compiling your code.
+> Rust has a curse (it has many, but this one is critical): inefficient code is generally visible. Experienced developers hate to notice that their code is inefficient. They will recoil at seeing `Arc<RefCell<T>>` , but won't bat an eye at using Python.
