Personally trying to learn more Rust programming, but awesome to see the cadence of their releases. What’s been your experience with Rust development?
So far it’s been good. I mostly did .NET development but at my current job I am able to do POCs for just about anything. So recently I rewrote an API from .NET to Rust/actix deploying on K8s. The performance has been pretty amazing.
I gave Rust a shot as part of my move away from Electron and into Tauri. Man, the learning curve is brutal; the language and syntax isn’t too bad honestly, but the borrow checker? Ugh, it’s like my mum complaining at me back when I was a kid to clean my room all the damn time.
It gets easier as you stumble and look up stack overflow posts over and over, but it’s definitely a challenge. That being said, if you stick with it, Rust almost guarantees that your app will never crash, so I’m a big fan.
