Small complexities entail glossing over safety holes or performance cliffs? Is “fighting with theīorrow checker” an inherent rite of passage for budding Rustaceans? Does removing papercuts and After all, Rust hasįocused on reliability and performance, and it’s easy to imagine that achieving those aims forcesĬompromises elsewhere-like the learning curve, or developer productivity. ![]() This is of course not by magic, it’s because of a huge amount of work on the part of RustĪ focus on productivity might seem at odds with some of Rust’s other goals. I’ve learned a lot more about Rust (I haven’t, yet!) I think it’s mostly because the compiler is I don’t spend as much time being frustrated with the Rust compiler anymore. Me do things I probably wouldn’t get done otherwise. I spend a lot of time being frustrated with the Rust compiler, but I still like it because it lets In 2016, my experience of using the Rust compiler was that it was hard. Last used Rust (for the same ruby profiler project) in May 2016. One cool thing about being a sporadic Rust user is seeing the huge improvements in the compiler! I Rust’s compiler is more helpful than it was in 2016 That feels really astonishing and magical to me, and I really don’t think I could have accomplished (from 1.9.1 to 2.5.0)! It works even if the Ruby program’s symbols are stripped and there’s no And it works! Like, I still have some work toĭo to get out the first release, but on my laptop it works across 35 different Ruby versions Maps, and the ability to read memory from the process. ![]() In 2013 I wrote a tiny 400-line “operating system’ in Rust (basically a small keyboardĭespite not having much Rust experience (less than 10 weeks of actively using it), I think Rust hasĪlready enabled me to do a lot of awesome things! Like – I’m writing a Ruby profiler in Rust whichĮxtracts Ruby stack traces from arbitrary Ruby programs with only access to its PID, its memory Rust, which is about 1300 lines of Rust code so far. I’m an intermediate Rust programmer (definitely not advanced!). Ideas for where Rust could go in the next year! (as a response to the call for community ![]() Think that’s really exciting! So I wanted to talk about why I like using Rust today, and a couple of Picked up Rust again, and the language is SO MUCH EASIER than it was the last time I tried it (May 2016). I’ve been using Rust on and off since late 2013.
