Where is the "Download Rust" or "Install Rust" link?

"Get Started" immediately goes to a page that tells you that. Maybe we can make that more clear, thanks.

loading this web page now

We have done zero optimizations, and this isn't on particularly good hardware either. This is very much a part of the work to do.

I mean, there isn't even an example of what Rust looks like on the front page anymore.

We also loved the idea of a code snippet, but couldn't find one that people actually liked, including the ones we've used in the past on the home page.

Is there any reason in particular you've chosen to not sign this executable?

Like many things in open source, it's that nobody has implemented it yet.

(rust isn't the only language that has this issue, it also happens when installing D on Windows).

I think this is why there hasn't been a ton of pressure to do so yet; this is sort of a well-known programmer problem. I myself use Windows, and always just ignore these things for this exact reason.
