Closing out an incredible week in Rust
- gilrain 9y agoIt's really exciting to be a member of the Rust community, right now. I'd encourage every programmer who still enjoys the magic to try it out for at least a hobby project. It's completely rekindled my love for programming.
- gilrain 9y agoAnd my project is a GUI app, which is among the weakest stories remaining for Rust!
- anfractuosity 9y agoCool, are you using gtk-rs? I've been using that a bit.

The GUI scene is very active right now, but it still requires pouring over raw, API-only documentation and simple examples.
- dbcurtis 9y agoTwo that really are eye-poppingly exciting to me personally are: - borrowing in async/await - embedded work getting first-class attention, led by @japaric My excitement over these two specifically, of course, reflects the idiosyncrasies of my focus, but yay!
