June 26th, 2023: State of the code: An update

[bitfl0wer]

Hi everyone! Some time has passed since the last update, and I figured I'd sum up all that's happened, so that everyone is up to speed about what's going on! :)

I, for one, have taken a few (3-4) days off to spend with friends and do other things, so that's why there hasn't been a lot of progress from me. I have finally decided to do a proper re-doing of the Rate limiter though. This is important, since the Rate limiter is one of the first things I have ever done in Rust, and my knowledge of the language has since improved by a lot. One big thing I'd like to achieve with this rewrite is full Discord.com compatibility, which'd mean that the library could hypothetically be used to interact with the Discord.com instance.

Other people, like kozabrada and particularly SpecificProtagonist have been hard at work as well. A lot of the commits and merges they've made center around making the current code base more accessible, 'streamlined' and idiomatic to the Rust language.

This is it for now! I am looking forward to working on Chorus again this week :) See you all on the next update, and thanks to everyone who contributed in the mean time!
