acknowledgments
First, I thank my wife, Annelies, for your love and support, as well as my father, Marc, and mother, Marleen. I will love you until the end of my days. Second, I thank my two brothers, sister, grandmother Rafaella Otte, family, and friends, among them Joost Barclay, Thomas Wijnendaele, and Bernard Vanderhaeghen in particular. I have also been fortunate to encounter many talented, kind, fun colleagues at every company I have ever worked at. They have all proven to be very tolerant when it comes to my very annoying habit of pointing out the things “Rust does better” than other languages.
All the people from Manning that I interacted with have been welcoming, friendly, and helpful from day one. Specifically, I would like to thank my development editor Karen Miller, technical editor Andrew Lilley Brinker, review editor Kishor Rit, production manager Aleksandar Dragosavljević, production editor Andy Marinkovich, copyeditor Kari Lucke, and proofreader Katie Tennant.
Finally, thank you, my reviewers: Alessandro Campeis, David Jacobs, David Li, Etienne de Maricourt, Guillaume Schmid, Horaci Macias, Irach Ramos, Jakub Guzikowski, Jaume López, Jonathan Reeves, Lev Veyde, Mehmet Yilmaz, Nick Keers, Olivier Stas, Rui Liu, Sandeep Sandhu, Scott Ling, Simone Sguazza, Vojta Tuma, and William E. Wheeler. Your feedback was both kind and useful, and this book is better, more helpful, and more polished than it could ever have been without you.
