I just finished reading "The #Rust Programming Language", a.k.a "the book".

Exactly two weeks ago I started learning it to solve a bug in uutils (which I fixed!), and today I reached the end of the final chapter! 馃コ

I am now officially a #Rustacean and a proud one too! Why didn't I learn it earlier?

#rustlang #learning #success #proud #books #reading

So I'm learning #rust and found an example in "the book" confusing, so I opened an issue on GitHub to add a note which will hopefully prevent any further confusion!

I wonder if it's just me being too dumb or if I'm the first one actually who actually read the full text.

Imagine if the fate of the planet captivated the world as much as the fate of one deep sea submersible.

@[email protected] I'm still going to continue learning Rust since it is such a useful tool, I'm already considering to port one of my projects to Rust :)

A mildly interesting sequence of events yesterday lead to the Director of Engineering at @[email protected] telling me to learn #Rust so that I can fix a simple bug in Rust uutils (GNU coreutils replacement) 馃槂

https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/4981#issuecomment-1595320548

I did not see any good reason to decline, so now I'm on my way to learn rust by reading "the book"!

Wish me luck 馃

Bye bye folks and thanks for being such nice citizens. t-2.5

Today I'm trying to fix #ArchLinux's mkinitcpio tool, it uses a hardcoded PATH and pulls in stuff from /usr/local/bin even when I don't want it to!
