Very nice.
Though, I am looking forward to the next generation of AI agents that aren't named after a lobster

There is actually a reason, the Rust logo is a crab named Ferris: https://rustacean.net
ah that's fair, that makes a lot more sense.
I thought it was all from "clawdbot" being renamed to "moltbot" to "openclaw". Thought everyone stuck with the lobster meme simply because of the claude code origins of clawdbot.
To be honest, I was looking at a short name, something than "Rustacean" would get, had a domain name available, easy to pronounce. I didn't like rustclaw, I think having similar name doesn't mean much unless it's very related, like tinyclaw being a typescript simili I get it.
For the logo, I do think everyone went for the lobster meme for a connection to clawdbot. But in my case it's because I wanted to use a derivative of the Rust logo, a crab.
