A little history of why Rust's error messages look and read they way they do:

- [1] back in 2015 Elm puts out a blog post titled Compiler Errors for Humans

- [2] then another, Compilers as assistants

- [3] then in 2016 Rust announces they'll borrow from Elm for error messages

Really great that the students were able to see how much the Rust community cares about error message quality.
