Ask HN: Why was the “Rust” programming language named like that?

Ask HN: Why was the “Rust” programming language named like that?

I indirectly started asking myself this question yesterday & today while struggling to query Google with e.g. "rust ammonia keep cleaned elements" ("Ammonia" is an HTML lib which I just started to use to transform relative links to absolute in an HTML doc, and to then extract them), getting back results like "Cleaning metals: basic guidelines", "10 household items to help clean rust at home", etc... => I'm in a Google-search-bubble, argh :P This thread https://ift.tt/grPWwlJ. ...mentions... > TL;DR: Rust is named after a fungus that is robust, distributed, and parallel. > It is also a substring of "robust". ...referring to this: https://ift.tt/MiyLDJ5 Is it really like that?

Once there, you can select the date ranges you want and generate a transaction report in PDF or CSV and then you have to wait a bit while it generates the report for you to download. What kind of UI craziness is this? A user's transaction history is such a basic feature, I can't imagine c...
