That's a very useful feature. Maybe I'll go ahead and learn Rust now. If it has a features like pattern matching, which seems about ten times more useful than the classic switch statement, then it probably has a lot of other insights worth learning.
If you were to start a hypothetical project written in Rust, what would it be? I'm looking for something to cut my teeth on.
- yen223 12y agoI would suggest you port over a project that you are already familiar with. It's easier to learn a new syntax when you don't have to grapple with implementation as well. And you get to have an objective comparison of the same project implemented 2 different ways.
- steveklabnik 12y agoI agree with this, but I will say that sometimes, you end up structuring a program differently due to the language. This happens a lot in Rust. It's still easier when you've solved the problem previously, however.
