I've just finished attending (online) the three days of this year's [SSI Collaborations Workshop][CW21] (CW for short), and once again it's been a brilliant experience, as well as mentally exhausting, so I thought I'd better get a summary down while it's still fresh it my mind.

Collaborations Workshop is, as the name suggests, much more focused on facilitating collaborations than a typical conference, and has settled into a structure that starts off with with longer keynotes and lectures, and progressively gets more interactive culminating with a [hack day][] on the third day.

## Day 1: Provocations
The first day began with two keynotes on this year's main themes: FAIR Research Software and Diversity & Inclusion.
Dr Michelle Barker, Director of the [Research Software Alliance][ReSA], spoke on the challenges to recognition of software as part of the scholarly record: software is not often cited. The [FAIR4RS working group][] has been set up to investigate and create guidance on how the [FAIR Principles][] for data can be adapted to research software as well; as they stand, the Principles are not ideally suited to software. This work will only be the beginning though, as we will also need metrics, training, career paths and much more. ReSA itself has 3 focus areas: people, policy and infrastructure. If you're interested in getting more involved in this, you can join the [ReSA email list](https://groups.google.com/g/research-software-alliance).

Dr Chonniettia Jones, Vice President of Research, [Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research][MSFHR] spoke extensively and persuasively on the need for Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives within research, as there is abundant robust evidence that **all** research outcomes are improved.

!!! commentary
Ever since I [used Go to solve day 3](../day-3/), I've had a hankering to try the other new kid on the memory-safe compiled language block, [Rust][]. I found it a bit intimidating at first because the syntax wasn't as close to the C/C++ I'm familiar with and there are quite a few concepts unique to Rust, like the use of traits. But I figured it out, so I can tick another language of my to-try list.

I also implemented a [version in Python for comparison][Python version]: the Python version is more concise and easier to read but the Rust version runs about 10× faster.

First we include the `std::env` "crate" which will let us get access to commandline arguments, and define some useful constants for later.
