Saw @Will's

Rust for Everyone!

talk earlier oh his research into tooling to help people understand programs. The program slicer (highlights all lines impacted by the current line) seems particularity useful for understanding large functions.

I really like the direction taken with these tools. On the other hand, I wonder about the "for everyone". Obviously (to me at least!), Rust is not "for everyone". There are many ways of interacting programmatically with a computer for which Rust is just not the right tool. Nor is any other one. Assuming @Will actually believes in "for everyone", I see a risk in not thinking hard about who the audience for these tools actually is, and making them for this audience rather than some hypothetical generic programmer.
