Fedora also bundles a bunch of software by default for a nice desktop experience for new users that you wouldn’t get with only Gnome on Arch. The difference is quite big, I’ve used both and Arch is way leaner even with a full install of the

The JS interop requires you to manually type the function or object, similar to how PureScript does it. There is no magic interop with JS, though one could potentially imagine a TS-to-ReScript converter.

I think they are more at the opposite side of the spectrum, languages like Flow, CoffeeScript and TypeScript are more akin to supersets of JavaScript (with potentially "simpler" syntax). Languages like ReScript and PureScript come

I started using Rust because I wanted a programming language that compiled to native binaries, and the choice at the time was really only C++, Go and Rust. In the end I chose Rust because it was new and shiny, and I've stuck with it. N

> Torvalds added that Rust isn't that terrible in the end; "it's not Perl". Glowing endorsement from Torvalds right there. I'm really curious about how this will work out, Rust is my favourite programming languag

You will rarely, if ever, deploy an application running CDK, so the bundle size is more or less irrelevant. It’s basically a glorified YAML compiler used to bundle infrastructure.

It doesn't need any extensions to work, the only reason `OverloadedStrings` is enabled in the tutorial is because the parser uses `Text` over `String` to parse the input.

I don't really think you can go wrong starting with either, I personally would obviously recommend Rust over Go since it is my language of choice and I think it will let you grow more as a developer than Go.

by sondr3 4y ago
I've used both for a couple of projects, but my primary language of choice for most things nowadays is Rust so this will be a bit biased. However, Go is a fun language to use, it is incredibly easy to get up and running, it provides mo

I'm on the opposite side here, the slim standard library is something I enjoy with Rust. I can pick and choose from a multitude of different libraries with different trade-offs, strong suits and so on without being locked to one single

If you view Rust as a high-level language, then yes, there's probably a slight overload of sigils, operators and characters. However, Rust was not outright designed to replace languages like Python, Java or JavaScript but systems level

Agreed, I spend about 70/15/15 of my time on my Moonlander, my laptop and a regular tenkeyless mechanical keyboard where my Moonlander is on Colemak mod-DH and the rest are QWERTY. I have no issues switching between them, which su

To expand on the others, unlike in TS/JS, Python etc you can cast to the `Any`-trait but cannot use it as if it is any value, you need to convert it to the type you want and then handle the errors. A function that accepts `&str` wi

The only popular crate that I can think of that still requires nigthly is Rocket[0], the 0.5 release does not but the lack of maintenance means that it has been three years since 0.4 and months since the last update. In that time Warp, Axum

At least for me one of my favorite things is how integrated it is, after having used Rust for a while, having the compiler, linter, lightweight testing and formatting all in one bundle is an amazing time saver and a major boon for me. No mo

I agree with you in that I prefer written material most of the time, but for food I actually prefer video over text. Mostly because it allows me to see and get a feel for the workflow, the timings and such that are impossible to get across

Another thing to consider is that Go is much easier for beginners to contribute to, I've contributed to a couple of Go projects without having written a single program myself. Rust is a different story, and often larger projects tend t

I paid the full price for it (€199), and I've found it to be a worthwhile purchase. It's pay-once-use-forever and since I spend a lot of time staring at code, the price per day of use is very low. Of course, there are free fonts t

It looks pretty, that was at least the reason I started using it. And now I’m so used to them that I can’t live without them, and I don’t get the “less readable” argument. Most of the fonts make the ligature the same width as the underlying

I think just two years ago it was much more normal to use nightly because of some feature that you needed, this is mure rarer nowadays. I haven't used nightly in months, and then I only used it to take a look at Rocket. Unless you requ

I think at scale (according to Wikipedia the 5.6 release has ~33M lines of code) the Linux kernel might be one of the easiest (and quickest) projects to compile[1]. [1]: https://techgage.com/wp-content/uploads/2019
