There are some off-site discussions about this post:

-   [The Rust Programming Language Forum](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/pinning-in-plain-english/67992)
-   [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29359521)

I get notifications about new posts in the RPLF topic, so feel free to comment there if you'd like me to see it.

If you add a comment on Hacker News then I likely won't notice at this point, since I don't use the site regularly.
