### Rust Application using Ferris Says Crate

Source: https://rust-lang.org/learn/get-started

This Rust code snippet demonstrates how to use the 'ferris_says' crate to print a "Hello fellow Rustaceans!" message to the standard output. It requires the 'ferris_says' crate as a dependency. The function takes a message string and its character count to format the output.

```rust
use ferris_says::say;
use std::io::{stdout, BufWriter};

fn main() {
    let stdout = stdout();
    let message = String::from("Hello fellow Rustaceans!");
    let width = message.chars().count();

    let mut writer = BufWriter::new(stdout.lock());
    say(&message, width, &mut writer).unwrap();
}
```
