I had a very different reaction to this, because I just released a Rust library called ironbeam [0] without knowing anything about this. It was intended to be a pun on Apache Beam and the fact that iron can rust... I guess I'll have to live with it for now because it's way too high-effort to rename it after a stable release.
Amazing, the future is here. Having it airborne like in StarWars without the limit of the weight of AtoA missiles is going to change the equation of air combat so much.
