Coding in Rust

I'm finally taking the plunge. The borrow checker is fighting me every step of the way.

I've been a C++ dev for 10 years, so I thought I knew memory management. Rust is telling me I know nothing. But when it compiles… it just works. It's a weird feeling.

Keep at it. Once it clicks, you can't go back to C++ without feeling unsafe.

I tried it. Too much friction. Go is better for getting things done quickly.

The learning curve is a wall, but the view from the top is worth it.

Just stick with C++. It's not going anywhere.
