While it feels good to have had my contributions recognized, I want to express some sadness at the fact that the two RFCs which were noted, and which look like they will be accepted, are two of the less consequential ideas I had for Rust. The others, which I think would have been much more significant, I never in the end managed to write up into proper RFCs. As a kind of last-ditch effort, I had decided to post all of my notes and partially-written drafts, thinking that the ideas themselves should be more important than having them in eloquently-rendered paragraphs, but this doesn’t appear to have made much of an impact. Anyways, it’s too late now; but I would still very much appreciate it if some members of the core team could take an hour or two out of their lives to at least read through them.
(I know that people have not really read them, because one of them describes a still-extant soundness violation.)
