+# Crate of the Week
+
+This week we have two crates: [memory-profiles](https://github.com/nokia/memory-profiler), does what it says on the box. [momo](https://github.com/llogiq/momo) is a procedural macro that outlines generic conversions to reduce monomorphized code.

+# Quote of the Week
+
+> Just the presence of well integrated Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) makes an incredible amount of difference. They are used to represent errors in a meaningful and easy to understand way (`Result<T>`), are used to show that a function may or may not return a meaningful value without needing a garbage value (`Option<T>`), and the optional case can even be used to wrap a null pointer scenario in a safe way (Option<Ref<T>> being the closest to a literal translation I think).
+>
+> That’s just one small feature that permeates the language. Whatever the opposite of a death-of-a-thousand-cuts is, Rust has it.
