JS之父Brendan Eich发明了Rust吗？

• Brendan Eich不是Rust的发明者，仅仅极少量地参与了Rust的开发， Graydon Hoare才是, 后者最早将Rust作为个人项目进行开发
• Brendan Eich对Rust的最大贡献，是担任Mozilla CTO期间决定资助Rust项目(fund Rust)；代码方面贡献了6个提交，共计108+11=119行；Rust语法中for..in循环的in关键字是他引入的。

Did Brendan Eich create the Rust programming language？

• Brendan Eich is not the creator of the Rust programming language, but Graydon Hoare, Who started Rust as personal project.
• Brendan Eich's contribution to Rust is deciding to fund rust when he worked as Mozilla's CTO, he has also commited 6 commits to the Rust code base, the most significant change is that the in keyword in for..in loops is introduced by him.

在中国大陆cargo命令速度很慢，怎么办？

使用如下配置：

# Put the content into ${HOME}/.cargo/config
[source.crates-io]
registry = "https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"

# replace with your favourite mirror
replace-with = 'sjtu'

[source.ustc]
registry = "git://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/crates.io-index"

[source.sjtu]
registry = "https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/git/crates.io-index"

[source.rustcc]
registry = "https://code.aliyun.com/rustcc/crates.io-index.git"

Why cargo is so slow in China Mainland, and how to improve it?

use this configuration:

# Put the content into ${HOME}/.cargo/config
[source.crates-io]
registry = "https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"

# replace with your favourite mirror
replace-with = 'sjtu'

[source.ustc]
registry = "git://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/crates.io-index"

[source.sjtu]
registry = "https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/git/crates.io-index"

[source.rustcc]
registry = "https://code.aliyun.com/rustcc/crates.io-index.git"
