 # Quote of the Week
 
-<!-- QOTW goes here -->
+> The whole point of Rust is that before there were two worlds:
+>
+> * Inefficient, garbage collected, reliable languages
+> * Efficient, manually allocated, dangerous languages
+>
+> And the mark of being a good developer in the first was mitigating the inefficiency well, and for the second it was it didn't crash, corrupt memory, or be riddled with security issues. Rust makes the trade-off instead that being good means understanding how to avoid the compiler yelling at you.
