Hey OP, curious how much experience you have with Rust, given that this is the only rust repo I see in your profile.

This is my only public Rust repo — I have some ongoing private projects in Rust, so I'm familiar with the ecosystem (cargo, crates, the borrow checker experience, etc.).

That said, to be fully transparent: as I disclosed elsewhere in this thread, the Ferrite codebase is 100% AI-generated (Claude via Cursor). I direct the development, test, and iterate, but I haven't written the Rust by hand for this project.

So my Rust experience is more "ecosystem familiarity + reading AI-generated code" than "battle-hardened Rustacean." This project is partly a learning exercise — seeing how far AI-assisted development can go while picking up Rust patterns along the way.
