Here is the closing thought, and it is the whole talk in one move. Every vendor on that slide is a company that made the
same bet we did: build the serious thing in Rust, stay current, publish the crate. So choosing them is not outsourcing —
it is betting on ourselves twice. The same language, the same toolchain, the same crates.io; when we write successful
Rust, the ecosystem that makes our vendors successful gets stronger, and when they succeed, the foundation under us gets
firmer. That is what a healthy ecosystem is — not a moment of hype, but an environment that compounds and can be used
for many years to come. And the payoff is the point of the whole firm: that stack runs so we can focus on winning cases.
Early in this talk I gave a eulogy for my programming career. Here is where it rests: I no longer have to consider
myself a full-time developer, because I am building on the shoulders of these giants — the foundation that governs the
language, the maintainers who ship the crates, the vendors who run the clouds. The title was the plan all along. Rust in
peace.
