Woohoo!  Impressive.

You can send a .md file or a patch against guix-artwork.git (under
website/posts) to address@hidden for feedback (though currently it’s
just Jelle, Ricardo, and myself IIRC.)  And then you can push to
guix-artwork.git and I can do the CVS dance to put it on-line.

If I didn’t make any mistake it should show up at:

  https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/wip-rust
  https://berlin.guixsd.org/jobset/wip-rust

Thanks for all the work!
