PS: already started reading “The Book” and following the “Rustlings” exercises

I'd love to learn rust, too, so I can help with #notedeck 🤣🤣🤣 but I already do so damn much and spread myself thin. Tis but a dream 😭 Shared for visibility.

Thank you 🙏🏼 would love to help developing FOSS software as well if i can make it 💪🏼🤞🏼

learn python!

I’m more attracted by Rust, sorry 🤷🏼‍♂️

Perhaps this book will help https://braiins.com/books/building-bitcoin-in-rust

Free e-book. Pretty good. Try to ignore IDE rust-analyzer errors while you are coding the examples, though. There are LONG stretches of coding where the important blanks don't get filled in until the end. https://braiins.com/books/building-bitcoin-in-rust

Thank you 🙏🏼 downloading the ebook!

write in #golang https://youtu.be/yhC-361QGJw haha, they did a new version of it cheeseball, but if you listen carefully to the lyrics they are talking about what is shit about all these other languages, including python

Thanks you’re the second person suggesting this book, it must be very good! Already downloading it 😉💪🏼 Anyway for the errors i think I’m going to see many of them this year it will be the norm 🤣🤙🏼

🤣🤣🤣

When you run into ownership issues early on, instead of trying to deal with it efficiently, just 'clone()' the variable

Idk if starting with Rust is the best idea. It might be better to learn another language first. But, I’ve not tried rust as of yet.

Well up to now this sounds like an advanced suggestion to me but i write it down for when i will go mad on this ownership thing 🤙🏼 thank you!

I’ve found the best way to pick up a new language is to have a goal in mind like a project you want to build. Consider making a basic CLI at first and then build up from there. Along the way you’ll learn a lot about Rust and in the end you’ll have something to show off.

I’d say that’s the place to start, and then I’d also recommend this, for hands on practice: https://exercism.org/tracks/rust

No pain no gain 💪🏼

This is a good point, no idea yet about what to do but I’ll think about this while advancing through “the book” 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks!

Nice link, thanks man!

Thanks but i got issues with "AI" at the moment... sticking to the old way for now, i'll cheat later, eventually ;)

No problem, but change your perspective. It's not cheating - it's a tool that can assist in you learning. Attempt to prompt differently until you find something that works. Best of luck!

Yep I think with time I’ll change my mind but up to now this whole ai thing is pretty dumb to me… basically i should learn how to talk to a dumb computer when it should instead be to able to understand my language for then learning a programming language… sorry but I skip a step at the moment 🤷🏼‍♂️

Booked marked.. As I'd also love to code, when I can dedicate the time..

Yeah go for it! 💪🏼

Why rust, and how's it going?

Because I like the fact that it forces you to mind the variables and because it allows for many different uses from embedded to software. Btw it is going quite badly honestly, I don’t have enough backgrounds for grasping everything about the language, I looked for some local devs for some mentoring but I found no one that codes in Rust sadly :( Also I’m starting a new job so had to pause the self-learning of Rust to get into the new biz. The project is not cancelled anyway, just postponed. This is something that really interests me and it do is a skill I want to acquire so I will crash my head on it as soon as I can :)
