I've been re-listening to the #newRustacean podcast and was struck by two nearly-contradictory things:
1) #rust has gotten *so* much simpler/more consistent since the early episodes were recorded (2016). The early episodes discus so many paper cuts and edge cases that we just don't have to deal with anymore.
2) So many things that were "coming soon" in 2016 are still "coming soon" in 2020 (e.g., default impl and built-in benchmarking on stable Rust)
Interesting contrast
@codesections it's such a great podcast!
By now I've listened, watched and read a lot (about) rust but have barely used it. Just a few examples from the book and a small and small CLI tool for accessing a http api.
The newrustacean podcast has paved the way to dive into the language listen-/read-only and follow it closely, even though I lack the time to sit down at the desk and actually use it.
Hope I'll have time or find a good excuse for using it, preferably for an embedded project, soon!
