 # Quote of the Week
 
-This week, we have two quotes:
+> I said it before, and I'll say it again: If one views Rust as a critique on C++, one should view it as a constructive critique.
 
-> Telling a programmer there's already a library to do X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love.

-– [PeteCordell on twitter](https://twitter.com/petecordell/status/428542622844477441), as [quoted in a recent Rust Gamedev meetup](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpOg2nl3kr0)

-> Well a Museum purpose is also memory safety, I guess.
