In addition to being interesting to techies, this is a really well-written article, e.g.
> Everyone was slightly disgusted and slightly impressed.
Went back and reread the whole article to find more gems like that one.

I agree, came here just to say this! A lot of writing coming from the "very-online-twitter-person" types is, well, insufferable to put it mildly, filled with inappropriate jokes(or worse, random images or embedded tweets) distracting from the technical content, but this is far more tasteful and enjoyable to read, on top of being technically interesting.
I don't really know what this is decrying, but this was very well written.
Agreed, really easy to read, yet so we'll explained on the issues, nice light style with just the right amount of humour. Really liked it.
Very engaging writing style -- sprinkled in just the right amount of jokes to keep the reader engaged, without going overboard.
Nice! Can this somehow be brought back into rustc?
Draft status for two years.
The routines have been rewritten/refactored multiple times since, and I had zero involvement in the LLVM work, but I'm still amazed that I was able to hack on code as fundamental as this and being part of shipping a new width for numbers in a "big" language (certainly big now).
