Yeah 2022 was the year in which rust transitioned (to me) from "frustrating waste of time language" to "wait a minute, the standard library is really good, the tools are really good, I could probably make useful software with this".
Though curious why a book describing unsafe rust made rust click for you?
- lynndotpy 4y agoIt made me better understand how Rust works and how it is designed, and in doing so, it really untangled how borrowing/ownership works. I liken it to paint a tree, full of leaves which obscure its branches. I might never paint the branches, but understanding how the branches are shaped will help me draw a better tree. This was in tandem with reading the Rust book, being active in the IRC, and writing programs to learn! The Rustonomicon just happened to have what I needed.
