I can imagine Honda executives thinking that they can wait out the awkward transition period and, when motors and batteries are fully sorted, simply swap out the fossil fuel bits. How hard could it be?

I dont know what the deal is with these editors that makes them on HN front page so frequently. In my opinion they are good text editors (used emacs for 4 years, and switched to vim nearly 10 years ago) but for coding I see them as a joke apart from some edge cases(clojure, lisp...). They are hard to setup as code editors, lots of customizations are needed and in my opinion it does not pay off.
That's not substance. That's style being all there is, trying desperately to cover up the lack of substance. Rhetoric works best when it gives wings to strong ideas, not when it tries to fly by itself.

I had the same thought seeing the long list of "Downloaded" and "Compiling" lines. Looking at Cargo.toml, I believe tokio could be overkill for this. I might clone it and play with reducing deps to see how far I can get reducing the npm-ness of this tool.
