As I'm reading through docs and the rust book here i'll be putting my thoughts in scattered order below. Welcome to the inside of my mind.
Introduction states that rust should work for teams of people. Engaging to me as someone entering the open-source world once again, having worked with other open source and crowd-helped languages like Golang for large projects.
Cargo being installed alongside the language takes the best part of node/npm and makes it part of standard installation. I don't feel the same with pip, since virtualenv is basically required not to make package resolution a fucking nightmare.
wow, this lanugage is used for "major parts of the firefox web browser". Where was that when I was looking for more open-source stuff circa hacktoberfest 2020? Just made PR's for deno instead..
Open Source developers being called out is pretty lit, that's me.
aw ferris is so cute!
For something as popular, or as powerful, or both, as Rust; I sure expected the syntax to look more complicated. hello world at least was a lot easier than expected. Making a lazy_static! interface was wildly complex, or it felt that way, for deno 🤷♂️
