Just sharing: By learning Rust I've improved my way of writing code in other languages as well (Typescript), and also have adopted design patterns more commonly used in Rust crates, e.g.: Builder Pattern, that I usually never thought of using in other languages. So, totally yes!

Thanks for your comment. Please tell me, when you were learning Rust, what was the most difficult thing for you? I'm a newbie learning the Rust base. At the moment I have only made a console application "phone book" and "todo-list". Tell me, what projects should I do to improve my skills?

[@luiscarlosjayk]

@@Maratreason hey, those are nice projects to start with. Ok, Q1: What was the most difficult thing for me while I was learning, and still today I think: Error design. I mean, I understand how the Error trait works, how to use thiserror and eyre, but when I'm in a new project, it always takes me a good amount of time to shape the errors I will support and how. Q2: What other projects to improve? That depends on what you want to specialize on, but Backend APIs/Servers is the basic, and I also learned a lot by working on a TUI (try doing it async), web assembly is a world on its own and Rust has good support of it. And join communities nearby you and online, you will find interesting projects from others :)

[@Kiyuja]

When I got into Rust earlier this year I would've never thought the growth of the ecosystem and adoption would be this huge. Rust and its projects get a lot of love these days, which surprises me, since Rust can be nasty to deal with sometimes. Rust still has rough edges that hopefully get addressed soon, I'm talking about the lack of variadics and issues with coherence that trouble projects like Bevy. I still like Rust and I am using it for Advent of Code

[@DimitriSabadie]

Like of variadics? It’s probably more of a habit problem than a real problem. Traits (and eventually macros if you really want to) will fix that. And Rust has variadic functions for extern (FFI) functions.

[@TheEvertw]

Rust is, AFAIK, the first fundamental improvement in programming languages in 20 years. By design it prevents a whole host of problems that have plagued all other non-functional languages since their beginning. The hardest part of learning it is to unlearn all the unsafe habits one acquires using other languages.

After over 2 years of working in Rust I decided to switch into AI / MlOps. Most of the Rust jobs I can get in my region are crypto projects. I worked for one, it was the dumbest bs I ever participated in, total clown show, and I do not want to repeat it.

[@MrParapampampam]

could you tell us more about your experience please it could be interesting

[@pin0teres]

@@MrParapampampam I have no desire to dox myself. Lets just say when I joined the company I did not fully understand that web3 projects with own token which provides some service really have two products. A service, and a token. Sometimes (often?) all the media traffic about the service comes from people invested in token, and not from the service users. In fact there could be zero real world users aside of some other crypto companies with zero real world users. A kind of crypto jerk circle. The main purpose of features you work on is not to provide a feature, but to provide an excuse for social media posts, some demos, webinars, etc. Such companies try to survive a crypto winter, and pray for pump when it ends. It is even hard to tell if company is doing ok, because you know it is all bs, there are no users, so it could be shut down just like that the moment a whale investors decide they had enough. It could be the biggest difference compared to crappy VC owned "web2" projects. Usually there are some real users, which has some real value, so it is more difficult to dissolve a whole project/team just like that.

The claims that the US government is working on an automatic AI driven system to convert C/C++ to Rust are fairly misleading. What actually happened is that some researchers applied for and received a grant to try to do this. Getting federal research grants is how a lot of research gets done, but receiving a grant doesn't imply that it is a government project. What actually happens is that a grant review board gets a pile of grant applications and decides to fund some of them that sound interesting. Personally, I'm deeply skeptical about automatic conversion of c/c++ to rust, whether AI powered or not. The core problem for human or machine in converting code is inferring intent of the original program and I can't see how AI can resolve this.

[@RustIsWinning]

[@fengdotdev9512]

I came from Go and Dart-yes, Flutter was my go-to. But I switched to Rust because of its cross-platform compatibility. Plus, it's not a Google tool that could vanish at any moment (Stadia really opened my eyes and made me cautious). Rust solves the cross-platform problem while also working seamlessly with C. Here’s my two cents: adopt Rust, migrate one package at a time, leverage its interoperability with C, and avoid relying on frameworks if possible (except for prototyping). You can start with third-party tools, but gradually replace them with your own code. Build modular and agnostic apps and libraries, and make heavy use of facades and interfaces to shield yourself from breaking changes. I believe Rust could be the language that eliminates the need for constant refactoring every six months, allowing us developers to focus on creating new things rather than just maintaining them.

[@contactdi8426]

Nice tip! Thanks

[@Asif3478]

I am also a mobile dev with heavy focus on flutter. And I want to switch to rust. Currently reading the rust book and doing rustlings. Please give me some tips from your experience.

[@fengdotdev9512]

@@Asif3478 "The difficult part of migrating to Rust for mobile development is the lack of concrete guides. There are frameworks like Dioxus or Tauri, but they are just wrappers around webviews. Personally, I am betting on creating Rust libraries, exporting them to C, and using them in Android via JNI. I haven't reached the point of testing with Swift (Mac and iPhone) yet. My current approach is to handle the visual part (native GUI with Compose for Android, SwiftUI for Apple, GTK for desktop) and the business logic through libraries. There are useful crates like cargo-ndk and cocoapods-ndk for compilation, and there are generators to create the headers for C/C++ libraries that you convert your Rust code to. You need to generate binaries for each architecture. Additionally, to create wrappers that use the library and simplify the JNI process, there's UniFFI. But I believe the best approach is to spend some time reinventing the wheel. There are big changes coming to development with AI and XR, and these companies are always looking to undermine developers. However, no matter how much they try, they won’t reinvent SQLite, so there will always be the option to use C libraries. And with Rust, creating C libraries is easy; the hard part is compiling and using them due to the lack of tutorials."

I would say learning Rust gives you a very solid and broad understanding how and why many languages work in one or another way.. being any language programmer will definitely upgrade your skills after mastering rust.. and I am a java backend dev specialized in the high loading financial systems. Personally I would rather go in into golang) for career, but again mastering rust would benefit even going into another language. Senior devs are not guys who know language. You have to be a professional in your own industry.. and language is just one cog in a huge and complex mechanism..

i even did a little python a while back, i think that it's extremely important to be able to compare and contrast different features of various languages to better apply the right tool for each job. when i first learned Rust, all i wanted to do was rust everything, and while i got good at it, i knew nothing about C pointers and all my understanding of object orientation was wack. learning C++ helped dramatically in my weakest skills, JS, Java and C# gave me patience, Python showed me what tradeoffs truly mean and GLSL showed me how skills can be transferred between langs. Rust gave me the most educational value, with how hard cargo and the documentation carry you especially, but all those other languages gave me another piece of the puzzle. I'm kinda shit at rust now though lol i've been doing basically only C++ for the past quarter

[@shrodinger3844]

side note the unsung hero of rust is documentation ngl. c++ is really easy if you know what you're doing but the docs are really bad at getting the point across. java and c# suffer from overexplaining imo. the only language reference i've ever really respected has been rust with the combo reference and tie-in book. nobody does it better!

[@shrodinger3844]

post postscript crates also tend to have awesome documentation and i love that so much!! C and C++ libraries are very often "here's the header go wild" while crates always seem to have deep explanation for every feature, so rust crates have always been easier for me to implement than C libraries lol

If you wanted to write a best selling novel - really bad advice would be something like “you need to learn Microsoft Word to do that” Same with programming languages. Learn how to program, learn how computers work. Obsessing over a language isn’t going to help you get there. Some languages are great at hiding the details of how things work under the hood, so if that’s all you know, you are never going to improve as a programmer. You are just going to develop muscle memory for how to use someone’s else’s product.

[@MichaFita]

You can do a photo of a football game with an iPhone, but shots sold to the press are done with top tier Canon or Nikon cameras. Best writers never use Microsoft Word, it's really worst tool for novelist job. It's the same with programming, you can sweat over chiseling some working code in bad language, or thrive dumping golden eggs with the right one.

[@steveoc64]

@ true - but then a top of the line Canon or Nikon isn’t going to help much if you are not familiar with the exposure triangle.
