With a more serious note, let's note how figurative "Linus" acts as an
overarching enforcer of some patterns that lead to that desired overall
result.
Rust compiler has similar effect, forcing you to adopt overall something
while you can't grasp, why your initial code-phrases were not okay for
low level machine. Okay in your mind's eye, but not for low level machine.
And may be in a math-lens note.
Rust compiler enforces some seemingly local rules, like who owns and
borrows what on each local line of code.
But then compiler stitches it all together, integrates all small steps
together. And seemingly local rules unexpectedly form an integral shape
with great properties, like reliability of multi-threaded code.
