Sooo I’m learning #rust now 👀   

#rustlang #rustacean

@Crocmagnon I'm considering learning it too. Is it hard?
@Gina I guess it depends where you come from. I’m used to Go, which is already compiled and statically typed so that helps. The borrow checker definitely is something to wrap your head around.
@Gina I’m reading « The Book » (The Rust Programming Language) online, specifically the more interactive version by the Brown University which has diagrams and quizzes. It’s a very good resource. The visualizations definitely help.
That being said, I find it lacks practice exercises. There are some but they are scattered around the book. I feel like there could be at least one at the end of each chapter.
@Gina I’ve also found other resources more focused for example on backend dev but the ones I found seemed to assume language knowledge which I didn’t have so going to the basics helped, instead of feeling overwhelmed by lots of things I had no idea about.
@Gina All in all I definitely feel like I’m learning new stuff, which is awesome, but as with all learning you have to do the work.
