Do other people react as strongly as I did to the lack of capitalisation at the start of sentences? The post is generally "well" written with good grammar and punctuation so I find it strange - it feels like a style choice. But the style choice just instinctively makes part of my brain feel like it's written by a child.

    In a comment on another Rust-related post, the author noted that, "rust definitely skews younger than average. i don't have statistics on hand, but almost all people i know working on the project are younger than 35, and a surprising number are 17-25."  
    I've messed with Rust a bit and I like it.  I like the ideas and lack of compromise.  But good ideas and a lack of compromises are what you get from youth,  along with the arrogance of style choices that make things harder to understand.  Will Rust stick around once these folks have bigger responsibilities?
