The video description links to the "article version" https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-promise-of-rust although it is a couple of pages and then goes "The rest of this article is exclusive!". It might still be a good way to see wjether to watch the video.

Addendum: I see now that the article link was submitted earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43711393

    But after that it says, "This article will unlock in 6 months". And hovering over the "6 months" bit displays a hint, "Monday, 13 October 2025 at 23:30:00". -- though it doesn't specify, "23:30" in which timezone.

    .

    As for the bit of content we are allowed to see, it certainly didn't sell me on Rust... but sure confirmed my resolution to avoid JavaScript at all cost.

    Oh well, maybe I'll have to ingest the rest the slow way, by the video.
