I finally started playing with Rust, after not having seriously coded in any compiled language for years, and… I am really liking it.
The compiler shouts at me, but also provides all the context I need to figure out what's wrong.
Most of the time once I do figure it out, my brain goes "ooh right, yeah, that makes sense!"
It feels like coding with a safety net: I am reasonably sure I won't end up doing something massively memory-unsafe. And it helps a lot when refactoring, too!
@rysiek The only downside I've found so far to Rust is complexity. It's a deep language and you have to have a good grasp on certain concepts before even a "Hello world" makes a ton of sense. It's very much worth the effort, though.
Best of luck!
@jonyoder thanks!
Yeah, to some extent. Then again, I did the first few chapters of the Rust Book to find my feet and then jumped right into coding of my side-project.
Wasn't really that hard. Documentation is really good, which helps a ton.
