Is Pin the result of moving too quickly? Maybe.
Personally, I’m not convinced that it’s generally possible to explore the design space properly by having long conversations. At some point, you have to ship. Figure out if it’s a good idea with your feet. Just like pin did.
I don’t claim to be smarter than anyone on the rust team who worked on this feature before it was launched. Only, now it’s launched and people have used it, I think we should go back to the drawing board and keep looking for other approaches.
