Indeed, when I clicked on the link I irrationally expected some kind of comparison between Nim positions and Go endgames. Color me disappointed.
Rust is also the name of a fairly popular video game.
Fun quirk: the game has _also_ been in a pre-release state for a long time, there were a ton of people who rejoyced when they heard we hit beta, then realized it was the wrong Rust... I'm sure the final in five weeks is gonna be the same way.
