Mastering Rust (#rustlang) Why the Learning Curve is Worth It

I just began Rust and fell in love with

Learning Rust is like learning Emacs or tasting meth... you want MORE

get ur inline type hints and ur lsp up, its not horrid, especially with an LLM to help (ask them why, follow up, what didnt u understand, work through the fix)

HUH? Vim's learning curve is like a couple weeks to get more comfortable than non-vim environments

Rust is gud

Thinking program design with rust concepts is where I find it hard. Syntax is fine, but if ya don’t think it well through, you fight the borrow checker/compiler/type system more than build

I just need more experience 🫠

Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I disliked the Rust book entirely... it's very unlike K&R in that it's hopelessly long, verbose, and hand-holdy, plus the exercises are few and far between and are boring. That's coming from an experienced programmer who read many a The X Programming Language books, so YMMV. But I suspect this is not a beginners book either. So not sure who the target audience is...

Rust is for glowies

The rust boon is useful for the starter stuff, to learn the language you'll have to do a lot of practice and learning of what can be done, what can't be, why, and how to actually do it properly, and when to do it.
I think Rust accounted for 70% of my general programming knowledge to be honest.

Me who is learning vim and rust at the same time ☠️☠️☠️☠️.2 weeks in and my brain hurts.

Would you recommend Rust for text processing tasks?

I just cant justify learning rust now or going towards 2025 when zig exists

just wait till you come across async

I've got that book. I've also got Rust for Rusteceans and Zero To Production In Rust. They're all awesome. Just like Rust. 😊

Haha, I bought both of these books for Christmas and i just started learning rust. Thanks for the Motivation!

"learning rust was like learning vim" surely it can't be that easy
