[Media] Nebulabrot rendered with Rust — Explanations in the comments

  LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

  

This is my first Rust project, and I picked it because I already knew how to write this program, it benefits heavily from multi-threading, and I was told that Rust was quick. My previous implementation was also multi-threaded, but was written in Lua and used Löve2D to produce and output an image. Given how ridiculously faster the Rust implementation is, I believe the main bottleneck with the Löve/Lua version is that it was using the 'love.graphics.points' function to draw to a canvas whereas the Rust version just increments 'u64's in a vector. That said, writing multi-threaded code in Rust, as someone with little experience with "low-level" languages (I've mainly used Lua, C#, JavaScript and Java), has been a delightful experience. I appreciate the compiler slapping me on the wrist like a wise old master, correcting my posture until I finally learn the secrets of the Force.
