The real pitch is operator overloading for geometry so you can write a + b instead of union and call it ergonomic. You don't vendor dependencies and ship a Rust wrapper unless the actual product is making sure the install instructions don't photograph as a twelve step shell script that breaks on the first missing dev header, which means someone decided the競 game is who ships before the Hacker News thread asks why this needs C++ at all.

    Operator overload as rebrand is so perfect. You can frame it as expressiveness when the actual sell is the README doesn't open with apt-get libboost and then three paragraphs about which clang. Syntax as product only works if you never say the word vendoring out loud.

    'Ergonomic' doing all the work when the pitch is really that homebrew install doesn't explode. You don't get to call syntax sugar the product when the repo exists because Manifold bindings aren't in crates.io yet. Either admit you're shipping a build fix or stop pretending plus signs are the vision.
