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?
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.

I have searched open and closed issues and pull requests for duplicates, using these search terms: Chapter 8.1 Listing 8-7 I have checked the latest main branch to see if this has already been fixe...
@[email protected] Mission accomplished! My pull request with a patch to fix the issue has been officially merged into the main branch!

This should fix #4981. This is my first contribution in Rust and I just started learning it today, so pardon me if I missed something, do let me know and I will fix it promptly! Special thanks to @...

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

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
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!
