Finally have a professional reason to learn and write #Rust, and I'm loving it! Feels like a low level #Kotlin.

Favorite Rust features so far:
- cargo as the all-in-one build tool
- borrow checker for safe refs
- 'Result' type in the std lib
- open source crates for everything

@joaquim Yes, there are definitely some similarities to Kotlin. Result is such a good design. Have you tried the "anyhow" crate yet?

@pgmjsd Oooh that's a nice one, didn't know about it! Been using `Result<T, Box<dyn Error>>` which def doesn't read as nice. The context() shortcut is handy too.

Any other must have crates i should know about appart from serde_x and tokio ?

@joaquim itertools is pretty useful, as is logrs… the other things I’ve been using are pretty specific so far. Lots of crates use anyhow - that’s how I found out about it.
