| With a name like 'lox' you'd think the banner image would be Pisces. Cool project though, I will definitely be playing around with this. |

| Pardon my ignorance, but how does lox relate to Pisces? I don't get the connection with cancer either, but the first thing that comes to mind on hearing Lox is liquid oxygen as it is used in rockets. So it's a connection between Rust language and astrodynamics. Is there something that makes Pisces more appropriate for this? |

| ▲ | Jorge1o1 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Sibling comment mentioned the connection between lox and Pisces, but the connection to Cancer is that the mascot for Rust is a crab. | | |
| ▲ | goku12 2 days ago | parent [-] | | True! That's an embarrassing thing to forget, given that Rust is my primary programming language. |

| ▲ | porcoda 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I assume they’re making a reference to Lox the food (brined Salmon), so a fish is appropriate. | | |
| ▲ | jimswhims 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Think it comes from the german word for salmon, "Lachs", or at least an earlier version of the word. | | | |
| ▲ | goku12 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Oh! This is the first time I'm hearing about it. That definitely looks like a missed opportunity. |

| > With a name like 'lox' you'd think the banner image would be Pisces. It's written in Rust so it's all about the language instead of the mission. |
