The thing with the semicolon on the last line is because it's a return. If you want the semicolon you can have it if you add "return" at the start of the line. Omitting the semicolon means it's the final expression in the sequence and represents the return value. It's intended that you can't just add another line after it without thinking about needing to add the semicolon because it's like adding a new line after a return line; You need to be aware that you're changing the return of the function, not just procedural logic

[@tsalVlog]

I explain this one as "a semi-colon captures and throws away the function's return (replacing it with void) if you don't assign it in the same expression."

[@casperes0912]

I also went from never having used Rust before to writing a project in it in 3 weeks - Did a fuzzing project. The compiler gives really nice messages to help you learn

[@boraoku]

I wonder if the copilot can come up with complex algebra and calculus algorithms. That would help so many scientists and engineers who are otherwise not top notch coders.

[@Frank2tek]

Hey Alex , fun video. Copilot is impressive. I use it in my company and sometimes I get scared because Copilot seems to be able to read in my mind. 🙂

[@AZisk]

i know right?

[@RomPereira]

It is reading your mind.

[@AZisk]

@@bdkamil95 oh lord.

[@PatrickSteil]

Yes!!!

[@ScottLahteine]

Copilot has been zooming me through a bunch of stuff lately, with my first major foray into Python, and building a VSCode extension in good old Javascript plus jQuery. It started out seeming pretty clumsy in my early tests, but lately it has been guessing what I want in ways that are almost scary. I hope Copilot remains free in some form, for limited non-commercial use at least. I love how it accelerates my productivity and finishes whole lines for me. Try asking it to give you an array of animal names, for example! It has really been a great teacher too, helping me to appreciate the affinities between Python and Javascript as I'm working with both of them.

[@essamal-mansouri2689]

They already announced the pricing for Copilot. It's not free.

[@tsalVlog]

As of the end of this month it will no longer be free.

[@aliengod2039]

They charge $100 per user per year. It seems like the money is worth spending.

[@shunwen]

It's very inspiring watching an experienced professional learning a new language, thanks for sharing!

[@Jaroshevskii]

Very cool. It would also be interesting to see similar videos about other languages, such as Swift or C++

[@HadesTimer]

This video was so fun to watch. I know enough Rust to be dangerous so this was very funny. Keep up the good work.

[@modoulaminceesay9211]

Thanks for making an awesome video will rewatch this again

[@andrewdunbar828]

The last line of a Rust function, that doesn't have a semicolon, is returning the return value from the function. Also now that you've written your first Rust programs you can call yourself a Rustacean. I suppose you can also call yourself a Rust master if you want. I'll arrange to have all Rust coding questions sent your way since you've mastered it (-:

[@tinkerman1790]

Thx for introducing a new popular programming language, rush! Also such amazing copilot stuff as well!!! 👍🏻

[@andrewgremlich]

Having learned Rust a little while ago, and unfortunately not using it yet in web dev projects, I smile at this video watching you learn Rust haha

[@tomekg6629]

As to merge sort - It is not concatenation, it’s merging two sorted arrays in a way that preserves the sorted feature. The most efficient way to do that requires three loops ;). From which (the loops I mean) the second and the third one are "exclusive" - you either have remaining elements in the first or the second input array, never in both. Simple concatenation could be applied if we knew that all elements in the second array are bigger than any element in the first one. This is not guaranteed in merge sort (but is in quick sort, which against its name is not considered quicker than merge sort).

[@jan7073]

Oh man, what a great video. But you completely glossed over many really crucial aspects of Rust. If you want to dig into some of the things that differ Rust so fundamentally from other languages like JS, try to start using some custom data structures. For example, in JS you could implement your calculator by making it more object oriented. Maybe create a class with the current state and permutate it with some functions to chain multiple arithmetic operations or so. If you try to build a rust equivalent of this with structs, impl blocks and traits, you will be forced to really learn about the borrow checker and the ownership and lifetime system of Rust. (Also if you do this, try not to clone it all the time) This is where Rust really starts to shine if used properly. If you only use it in a functional way, you will not learn much about all the cool features rust has to offer. So there is still veery much to discover in the language features itself, even without using external libraries and frameworks. Maybe material for a part 2? Also, to answer a quick questions, you had in the video: The semicolon is mandatory in Rust. You had to not use it in your examples because that was a place where you returned a value in your function. The same logic also applies if you just want to return a value in any statement. (e.g. if statements can return values) If your function does not return anything, there would have to be a semicolon.

[@erlicthemad]

I like this one. I have heard of rust but done very little with it. Though I could have sworn that rust used to allow cross compilation from a native language to rust for a browser.

[@toddmakesgames]

Nice video! Try the rust-analyzer extension for intellisense support.

[@noeldillabough]

Error handling some other time, much like testing... I nearly spit on my screen lol. Cool how it figured out what you were doing just with a comment.or contextually!

[@9SMTM6]

* takes the language with the IMO best (starter and intermediate) documentation * uses it without using that documentation Also, for autocomplete under VSCode use rust_analyzer

[@BackpackandGear]

I am very impressed with VSCode so I'll probably be using it more in the future!

[@samanchitsazian9698]

The first excitement was awesome :))

[@gavinlangley8411]

Code pilot is impressive but mostly loving your semi colon OCD :) good stuff

[@mgjansen777]

Cool project, 👍 well done

[@panic0112]

Love it! I realize the point of the video was mostly testing out the AI coding, but some of this is pretty painful to watch as a Rust Dev. I would not recommend learning Rust by avoiding the docs because the docs are actually pretty awesome. Cool stuff though. Keep it up!

[@eleah2665]

I haven't been this excited in many years!

[@southmark7061]

Thanks a lot!!

[@petersuvara]

Whenever I pickup a new language, or even to refresh on a language I haven't coded with for 6+ months. I jump on those online tutorials or work through a book to pickup the grammar. Takes about a week of intensive code writing, but then you get over the 90% learning curve, with the other 10% learnt over the next 1.5 years :D

[@floradreamweaver3646]

Copilot is my daily productive tool. It accelerates my work so much just like opening the tube valve and codes streaming out like water

[@andrewdunbar828]

I like Rust and also Zig. I've been looking forward to seeing some of the KZbin coders I follow try these languages for the first time. I don't know if you already code in Swift or if you only do web stuff. If you don't already use Swift I would like to watch a Swift learning video too.

[@steveoc64]

Zig is incredibly elegant. There is some excellent talent in the zig community.

[@dankosek2355]

Wow, so I to can become a Rust Master! Alex, your sense of humor is priceless... I have been think about trying Rust and now I will have too. I guess if you learn it and then have to do a non-Rust project, when you go back are you a little Rusty??? 😄

[@AZisk]

😂

[@el_manu_el_]

Lol so funny throughout. And Copilot is amazing 😳

[@citybang]

Alex have you tried the Go programming language from google, and what are your thoughts of it in regards to backend web development

[@floradreamweaver3646]

Watching a programer playing with a new program language is so fun🤣. Nice video

[@andras4774]

The best IDE for Rust is probably CLion with the Rust plugin

[@andrejbartulin]

Use cargo and rust-analyzer vscode exstension

[@remixisthis]

Saw the whole video. I think Rust is a unique language where understanding some core concepts are important in order to make or modify a program more involved. Interesting approach to using copilot to learn.

[@harrytsang1501]

Yes, at least read the ownership and borrowing chapter However, for the boilerplates and importing libraries, I do see copilot being super useful when learning a new language

[@floradreamweaver3646]

Because he is intended to play with rust using Copilot. Copilot is the core of this video

[@jvlppm]

I’m confused, I’ve been using copilot for like two months until it disabled itself and requires me to pay a 10$ monthly subscription to keep using it, and unfortunately I had to uninstall it, but you said it is free, is it paid just for some users?

[@remigoldbach9608]

Reminds me of intellisense in VS when I code C#. It knows what I want to program.

[@AZisk]

oh come on :)

[@Defiler151]

The syntax in Rust is indeed very special O.o

[@tsalVlog]

As a TypeScript / Node developer, you should be in a great place to learn the language, you just need to pick up the hard-iron bits around compiling / project structure. The hardest thing you'll hit depends on whether you prefer TypeScript or JavaScript itself -- if you prefer JavaScript, the type-safety and coercion will wreck your brain. if it's TypeScript, the borrow model will wreck it worse.

[@petersuvara]

Alex, some advice. That wide angle lens makes your nose look real big. Not sure what focal length you are using for your lens, but try up to 55mm for a far more natural look. I just watched. tutorial on focal length, and once you see the difference in a face, you cannot unsee it.

[@AZisk]

i actually do have a big nose :) and my room is really small, so 55 would make me take up the frame. my main is a 35

[@petersuvara]

@@AZisk nice, I don't think you hav a big nose, but then again we haven't met in person. I noticed you use a B-Roll camera where the nose looks smaller and face looks wider . But the front facing cam looks like a shorter focal length. Your colour grading looks pretty spot on by the Alex. I've got a streaming setup with a Sony A7SIII and A7IV at the moment. Mind sharing your camera setup?

[@AZisk]

@@petersuvara I do zero color grading, but kinda planned it that way so a few months ago i switched from panasonic to sony, and got a7iv for cam a and cam b. got tired of bad panasonic autofocus. main lens is a gm 35 1.4 (but i mostly use it on 2.5). side lens is a g 40mm 2.5. rear cam is a zv-e10 with the kit 16-50 (thats why it looks so grainy).

[@petersuvara]

@@AZisk nice setup. Have been tossing up between the 35mm 1.4 or the 24-70mm 2.8 gm. Already have the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 and the 20mm G... But a 24-70mm gm would really be a all in one versatile video lens... Also, I really should just start releasing content. :)

[@obieda_ananbeh]

This is cool 👍

[@Frank2tek]

Hey Alex why do you try to make some videos series to teach programming ? I know this kind of work takes a lot of time but i think many followers of the channel might like it. ( just an idea ) 🙂

[@lalpremi]

that was funny :-) I never used copilot, loved it, and learned something new. Have a god day. 🙂

[@PatrickSteil]

I laughed so hard in this video. Funny stuff!!

[@pinebitway]

The greatest video. You did well. Try Golang next time :)

[@PSKuddel]

So obviously this video is about how to learn Copilot fast? Can you do a similar one for Rust?

[@eboatwright_]

YESS! I love Rust! :D

[@woolfel]

to alex, in case you haven't seen, Karpathy of Tesla started a youtube channel. since your getting into ML, his channel might be interesting to you

[@woolfel]

I've been thinking about learning Rust and writing a simple neural network. So fed up with python.

[@testingstuff6111]

This was amazingly funny and sad at the same time :))

[@merodeadorNocturno]

Oh, rust is so amazing, unfortunately there are a lot of things that don’t translate directly from JS.

[@miyambomumba2584]

Crazy stuff right here 😂

[@jjoksa]

Come on give us for example React Native or whatever your team is building Mobile apps. Thanks

[@sqwert654]

Github stays nothing about Rust support

[@dariuszspiewak5624]

Just thinking.... With so many languages out there, how many of them are you able to learn in greater depth? I mean not superficially but deeply. Like, say, get to know (in Python) what metaclasses are and how to properly use them. Learn all the Pythonic patterns and how the internals work, descriptors, dunder methods, mixins and all these powerful but hard-to-understand features. How many of such languages are you able to become expert in? Roughly.

[@HelloWorld-fg2nm]

Bro why avoid official docs??

[@AZisk]

for fun

[@pradeepverkiya5827]

Love From India 🇮🇳 ❤️

[@monlewi1976]

that's fun

[@DevlogBill]

coming from JavaScript, PHP and Python. Rust looks painful to learn. What in the world is std::? looks like C++?

[@Michal_Peterka]

Next time some try some new simpler programming language like F# 🙂

[@danieldanish2453]

Vscode is just an all programm "IDE"

[@spinthma]

Rust is great!

[@MrDujmanu]

I'd argue it's important to read the official documentation, that's also a skill. Googling, copilots and the likes are rather toxic on the long run, does anyone ever read man pages? Don't wanna be "that guy", I'm probably just old fashion :)

[@slayergodgaming1424]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Is that Tobey Maguire? " Ngl you look a lot like him.

[@volkan8583]

second after you Alex ?

[@AZisk]

hmm probable

[@samuelebarbiera1075]

damn if this video was interesting, this approach of "learning" a new language is pretty interesting, viewing the way u try to handle all the errors ecc...

[@floradreamweaver3646]

This is not the proper way to learn a program language. The proper way is to go through its tutorial.Alex is not intentionally learning it, just play with it. This video wants to tell people how powerful this Copilot is.

[@AZisk]

proper way is to start with docs. but yeah, this was just a fun experiment. that being said, it doesn’t mean it didn’t give me a quick introduction to the lang - something i never seen b4

[@kokizzu]

XD golang ftw

[@sveinjohansen6271]

haha CONST and expect a dynamic array ? lol.. but funny as hell content.. copilot is great for programmers.

[@paulecampbell]

hey Alex, you seem to be a little rusting with Rust

[@chukwuemekaallison]

What are you doing? 😅... Please read the doc

[@AZisk]

reading docs is for doc readers. are you a doc reader or something? :)

[@chukwuemekaallison]

@@AZisk yeah, I was just like it would a lot less painful if you used the docs. But you did well

[@petersuvara]

1.5 million downloads and only 61 reviews... I smell a bot :D

[@tibimutasunta2132]

Copilot == Scratch 🤔🤔🤔

[@davehachey3888]

You’re not exactly selling it to me. I’ll stick with python.

[@AZisk]

not trying to sell it

[@dragomiradrian8194]

rust rave

[@xavhow]

using copiot is a bit of cheating... smile

[@danieldanish2453]

Hi alex. Waiting for your response on telegram

that’s a scam
