 # Why Rust
 
 ## Rust has _all_ of Go's superpowers
 
+Ok, except it's uber simplicity. But what you lose in simplicity, you gain in
+many other areas. I'll elaborate later.
+
 ### Goroutines
 
 Use `tokio::spawn`. Yes, they are different (mainly stackless versus
 stackful) but the goal and considerations are effectively the same.
 
+If you don't like Tokio or can't use it, there are different implementations of
+this on top of Rust's `async/await` system that have the same benefits.
+
+While it's arguably not as cohesive as Go's implementation, it's there if you
+want it.
+
 ### Channels
 
-Use `std::sync::mpsc`.
+Rust has these. See `std::sync::mpsc`.
 
 ### Defer

 ### Explicit error handling

+Haha! I guess I'm the four-millionth person to write about how awful `if err !
+= nil` is, but seriously, Rust's `?` operator and pattern matching abilities are
+so fantastic.
 
 You're gonna _love_ Rust in comparison.
  
 ## Rust is expressive
 
+Now we're getting to some of the things Rust is simply better than Go at.

 Being expressive has downsides. A common question I'll find myself asking is
 "Which of these four ways is the _best_ way to do this?"

+## Making Changes
+
+When you change a hunk of Go code, you can't know for sure what else in the code
+may need to change as a result. If you add a field to a struct, you may need to
+find the places you are building that struct and update the code and hopefully
+you don't miss a spot.
+
+Rust makes changing an existing codebase less scary. It will tell you pretty
+much everywhere you need to go and change other things as a result of your small
+change. It totally changes the way you modify software.
