Coming from writing JS all day, I've recently started learning Rust and I find it extremely refreshing. Yes, it is heavy, low level and forces you to think about how things work under the hood, but it empowers me to do high performance stuff I just coulnd't do in JS before.

Def recommend it as a second / third language

Well you couldn't resolve "this" lexically without some closure tricks like that = this , so sure, you could do everything you do with arrows without them, but not with one function alone

If anyone wants to dig into the math, this is a non linear recurrence relation, with an external dependency, that is n_d+1 = f(a,n_d) n^(d+1)

bad news: How this behaves will depend a lot on a (containment measures etc...)

good news: If we can make a grow faster than an exponential, we can win
