I once ran multiple bots on Ancient Anguish that would do simple quests for cash and follow other player to steal their gear if they dropped anything. The bots would then find my main and hand everything over.

The mods teleported my chars into a dungeon and virtually tortured them while trying to get me to admit one person was behind the lot.

There's a pitch clock now? So much for the Jamie Moyer rule that "the game doesn't start til I start it."

personal notes become cryptic team notes when you leave. If something ought to be team knowledge before that, it needs to get translated into a form that more people can easily read.

They had bombs in Hezbollah pagers. At this point I'd need to be convinced mossad didn't know about thousands of hamas soldiers massed for an attack.

"Hard" maybe the wrong word.

Tasks that are simple in most other languages, like a tree that can store many data types, are going to take a lot more code and a lot more thinking to get it to work in rust.

Generics and traits have some rough edges. If I rub up against them, they're really annoying. Otherwise, if I can avoid those then I agree with you that rust is smooth, and the trade off is worth it.

In reading deeper, many or most of these "classified" emails are comments on news stories that revealed information that another department would rather keep secret, such as news articles about CIA drone strikes, while the CIA at the time wouldn't acknowledge they had a a drone program.

Clinton argued at the time that such emails aren't and shouldn't be classified, since she didn't discuss any information sourced from the CIA, but only the publicly available news article. That seems to me to be at least a reasonable stance.
