[estark]

I was just looking into this yesterday. Thank you for the detailed guidance, really

[cramhead]

Thanks for putting together this video. I’m looking forward to improving my rust skills with AoC. The tech stack lineup you put together looks like you’ll be presenting so really cool stuff. Looking forward to the series

Thanks for the guide! First year of trying it in Rust. Previous iterations completed in C++, however seeing your implementations from last year inspired me to become a fellow Rustacean this year! Wishing you to best of luck!

Thank you so much for such a detailed and instructive video. Although I am not smart enough to go through AoC, at least by following others journeys and learning from them I might get prepared enough to take on the challenge next year on my own. Subscribed, will try to follow through the whole series.

That's an epic setup! Thanks for showing it.

I just wanted to thank you for your effort, your time and dedication. <standing ovation>

[Jerry.Running]

Thank you, I trying to learing about rust lang and your video will help me a lot.

[shrugalic]

Cheers for the advanced guide, quite a few interesting tidbits in there!

[abroy]

literally exactly what i was looking for. love you man

Late to the party but I am so excited to follow this in real time this year. Last year, or 6 months ago, I followed your 2022 rust advent of code to learn rust. It was super useful! Excited for all the new inclusions this year, best advent of code channel I have found regardless of language :) .

New to rust, picking it up as a hobby. Cool to see how I could've done it better after I completed my daily. Great video!

[JohnnyVestergaard]

Hi Cris, couldn't help myself and converted part of your setup into a cargo-generate template...you now have the first pull-request for your AoC repo if you like it.

[friendlywavingrobot]

Thank you for this! I've been nervous about doing AoC in Rust, but knowing you're making these vids gives me great confidence that I'll at least be able to watch how you solved it!

[kentbowling]

Awesome beginner advice for setting up for AoC, and I can't wait to look at your eventual "kitchen sink" workspace 👍

[ragectl]

I keep coming back to watch this video. It would be nice to explain some more of the context around your personal setup, why these are good things, using virtual workspaces, doing the debugging using dhat, etc.
I see there is a video on using dhat, how to generate good benchmarks, but how it fits into the setup you chose 🤔

[onestack-frue]

Holy f, thats insane 😂 thanks for sharing

[abbcc]

"..potentially do it in Rust. That means you have 25 problems.." you definitely have 26 problems right there :D

[MadMathMike]

Thanks for this content! I'm looking forward to finally learning some rust this year (I have been meaning to for a while now! 😅).

Question: where are test modules normally kept in a Rust package? I assume putting the tests in the source code files was done just for convenience of Advent of Code, but I'm unsure. 🙂

[xhh]

which editor are you using? It looks like VSCode but the theme is not familiar

[TheLazy]

Hey hey,
first of all thanks for the videos.
I'm new to Rust and the AOC videos have helped me a lot accelerating my learning experience.

I'm also using Linux for a while now and got very curious about the `ls`, `ps` and `where` you are using, since they are not the default.
Could you give me a hint on whats going on there?
