How to "Hack" the Mainframe, and Maybe a Heart?

Stop optimizing databases. Today we’re building a useless but beautiful Matrix rain simulation in Rust.

Unlike Python (which lags) or JS (which melts your CPU), Rust + Ratatui renders thousands of particles at a buttery 60FPS. It might not impress your crush because they will just think you are fixing a printer, but at least your code is memory-safe. And that is better than love.
