redemption arc complete

Well he's also got some disagreeable political opinions, so I dunno about redemption.

The success of Rust can be laid at the feet of many people, but critically Graydon Hoare — He wrote an article a couple years ago about his stewardship, and it's been something I go back to frequently. Just reading you get a sense of the immense intelligence, maturity, and sensitivity he possess, and imbued the project with.
