One question?
Is Alex bot? Sometime, he beats bors :D
Sort of, he's a robot send back from the future to save the past (by rewriting it in Rust).
(And … I can't find the source for this meme, which kind of ruins it :/)
Quote from Graydon Hoare: "Technology from the past come to save the future from itself"
One source (don't know if it's the original source): http://venge.net/graydon/talks/intro-talk-2.pdf
I think this was the origin of it, but one day (circa 2017 or something) someone on reddit posted a Terminator theory about Alex Crichton which I found hilarious at the time but I can't find anymore :/.
If it is any comfort, I remember this too.
