I have. When I started using Rust for some real project.
I picked up a C++ codebase for a DCC app plug-in from around 2011 and started porting it to C++17.
At that time I had already started learning Rust. Three months into the project the DCC host app changed API which meant major refactoring on top of porting.
I decided: screw it – let’s rewrite it in Rust (RIIR).
It has been a most amazing experience.
I haven’t felt like this since I was 14 and started learning C and later (Turbo) C++, when I was 16.
The language and community are amazing. Lots of new material that is outside of my comfort zone. Steep learning curve but with the reward of this warm feeling of learning something new almost daily.
Highly suggested.
