Rust Is Boring

Today I hope to show you that Rust is ready for use in your company, in production, NOW.

- Rocket doesn't have a sql framework - I was thinking of using rocket with sqlx - my favourite rust sql tool which DOES compile-check against injection (and sql syntax errors, it's magic)
- Discord uses Elixir, not Erlang, I guess my confusion was they use the same runtime.

I swear man, every single time I see a video of yours I have to run to my computer and start learning more about Rust. It’s just ridiculous

I'm an Embedded Software Dev accustom to C to the extent that I managed to trip myself up on a couple of Java coding interviews.
I remember hearing about Rust a couple of years back from someone, but they weren't the best spokesman and quite aggressively annoying about it. I ended up avoiding it out of spite and because I didn't think that any language could be as performant as C (or C++, but I don't wanna talk about that language).

Your videos are excellent, concise, and extremely convincing. Your WASM sub-series even has me interested in attempting to use egui for a Native/Web app. If I can ever get my hands on a microcontroller, I'm probably at the point where I can say that I'd be willing to give Embedded Rust a try over Embedded C.

Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos on the subject! I always look forward to your uploads.

The rust foundation should get you on board as marketing personnel

These videos…. So great... you’re making me want to rewrite my whole PHP backend in rust when all I can do is print formatted strings.

I like how every entry in the speed list is 2x slower that the one before, but python takes two steps.

I started using Rust earlier this year, I think because I saw one of your videos. It has seriously brought my love of programming to a whole new level.

"if you don't use Rust you're missing out on a C change"
I saw what you did there

I've been (casually) studying rust for almost a year. I recently started a school project with it (frontend with rust, webserver, database bind, rabbitmq bind). It's such a pain, but I love it. When it compiles I'm sure what I'm doing will work. It's not gonna crash at the start

[chrissaltmarsh]

C is brilliant, I love it. You do need a couple of crutches to hobble around sometimes. Rust is actually non-boring, and you don't shoot your feet.

This guy is so good even Tom Hanks has decided to learn Rust, and he is an actor.

I love rust because now people will leave Haskell alone. Haskell is a research language and should remain as such, a place where all new ideas can be explore without fear of losing backwards compatibility, because this is a problem we still haven't fixed how to combine innovation with legacy. And Rust is the language that gets to be a curated selection of the ideas explored in Haskell so people in the industry can get that innovation without being the party poppers for innovation.

Man, few days ago I checked your channel and was very disappointed that you didn’t post but now I’m happy seeing you again.

[Zen-rwfz]

My biggest issue is that it's difficult. People say C is difficult but once you understand the concepts of pointers it's not much more difficult than any other language, rust has a lot of syntax that can be really unorthodox which makes it more difficult to write

[WizardofWestmarch]

The Discord thing never ceases to amuse me. The Go team deciding "No matter what we are going to do a FULL HEAP SCAN every 2 minutes, even if your memory usage has not changed at all."

Like... what. I know they didn't want to add parameters to their GC but that is such an insane arbitrary decision it boggles my mind.

[KillianTattan]

Love your enthusiasm and clear explanations of Rust. I’ve been learning it myself for projects and work. It’d be great to see how it’s used in scientific computing and time series analysis - I haven’t seen any other videos or channels who focus on this field

[lifelessclayman]

I've started to learn Rust and noticed that it has a direct access to the array element, which may produce panic errors. Seems like rust is not so safe as was promised

[aaronwinter]

Upfront: I love rust!
However, I am not sure about the "rapid iteration cycles". While rust code executes very fast, the rust compiler is fairly slow. Meaning you will wait on the compiler a lot. I suppose it heavily depends on the project you are working on, and how many other steps you have to go through, like unit tests and such.

Just started learning rust to replace c++, to avoid writing c++ for multiple platforms, and your channel has been the biggest inspiration to get me through the growing pains of learning to work with the borrow checker
