How to save $327.6 million using Rust

Hey all,

First blog post in a while and first one on Rust. Rather than getting bogged down in something larger, I opted to write a shorter post that I could finish and publish in a day or two. Trying out Cunningham's Law a bit here: anything I miss or get wrong or gloss over that could be better? Except for the tongue-in-cheek title; I stand by that. :D
