Well, actually I would tend to agree that &[T] is preferable to AsRef in most cases; all of the smart pointers you mentioned can also easily be turned into plain references. I probably could have chosen a better example.

lib.rs has a pretty UI, but the dev kinda sucks, and after the latest controversies, using it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Crates.io is good enough.

I’m working on a command line tool that automatically adds furigana to Japanese text.
