Problems with Implementing a Computer Algebra System (CAS) in Rust:
	If a future group were to undertake the implementation of a CAS using Rust they should be warned of the following challenges:
		Creating a CAS in any language is a very high man-year activity.
		Creating a CAS in any language requires an advanced level of mathematic knowledge, specifically in Abstract Algebra and, potentially, Galois Theory. 
		There are languages more suited to the task of creating a CAS than Rust, namely various dialects of LISP. This being said, with skill in Rust the language barrier should be the least problematic component.
		Creating a CAS in general is an High Risk activity, as there are tales of systems that had 300+ man-years invested, with nearly nothing to show for it.
	There are positives to CAS creation in Rust:
		Rust is safe, fast, reliable, and easily proven formally.
		Rust, as of the time of writing, has no crate that acts as a CAS, so you would be making a massive contribution to both the Mathematics and Rust community.
		Rust is, as of the time of writing, the most loved language among programmers.
		Experience in Rust will be valuable in your future endeavors, as there are many who argue it will replace safe subsets of C++ for critical-system applications in the upcoming years.
