Some great points there.
I have multiple goals here.
Goal #1 is to demonstrate how Rust can be effective at data science / analytics and evangelize a bit.
Goal #2 is to have fun trying to build some of this myself and improve my skills as a software engineer.
Goal #3 (getting a little more vague now) is to ensure that in some hypothetical future I can get a job working with Rust instead of JVM/Apache Spark.
- m0zg 7y agoGot it. Fun side project then! Good luck. Rust does seem like a good fit for something like this. I think the hard-ass responses in the thread (all unwarranted) simply misunderstand the goals.
- cauterize 7y agoFWIW, I'm keeping your name in the back of my head for when my current company inevitably fails at their big data revolution. Biggest product produces 10-15 PB/day that must be processed. Our existing solution is 20 years old and relies on navigating C code with function line counts on the orders of 10k. Rust would've saved me a lot of time from living in gdb. Really enjoyed the article. Keep it up!
