Thinking about getting into #cpp. I'm bad at having hobbies.
@gsoltis Get into Rust instead! More fun with less debugging, and for me that also means I'm massively more productive.

@predrag I already like rust, and am looking forward to using it more professionally.

But for side projects where I'm messing around with native code, when I use rust I end up spending all my time trying to get the bindings set up. Most recently, playing with a virtual table for sqlite. I could spend time on forks of rusqlite or just write c/c++.

I'm working on an opinion that better c/c++ package management would enable more granularly replacing components with rust though.
