Not so much. You cannot learn Rust to any useful degree in under a week, period. It's worth learning, but it's not that easy. Async makes it even harder, yeah.

Though a lot of what I'd use async for in Python, I'll use Rayon for in Rust, and it's... fine, really. Better than fine even; it's easy to avoid concurrency issues that way.

Let's pick a competent engineer with zero Rust experience and teach them. I wager you $1,000 that they can write a TODO app in Rust/Actix without looking at a direct example. I'll even up the wager and concede that they must have zero C/C++ experience. Only garbage collected languages under their belt. I'm being a bit facetious here as I don't have the time to babysit this wager given my startup, but I really want to make this bet and I'm very comfortable in thinking that I would win it. (Maybe if I offer $1000 to the engineer too as incentive to try - that could work.)
- Filligree 4y agoI won’t take that bet; I agree that they could. I just don’t think that counts as “learning rust”. Which means that now we’re arguing over semantics.
