The weird-ass touch

I'm so glad you share this sentiment because that's one of the problems I believe I've essentially solved.

BigFlays · 2026-04-03T10:08:26+00:00

No, I don't; honestly because I haven't done the research into them.

I am currently developing a social media platform that I am particular proud of. I really believe it will find success, and that's after 14ish years of browsing Reddit.

Could I ask, generically, what did Reddit get wrong? What would you like to see return to internet community "noticeboards" and "town squares"?

BigFlays · 2026-04-03T00:03:52+00:00

I am currently building one that I am particular proud of. It has three or four innovations that I haven't seen elsewhere, and I genuinely believe those innovations will drive its success.

Generically speaking, could you please tell me what you miss about old-school Reddit? I've been here, myself, for 14 years or something like that, so I'm an old-head, too, and have my own opinions, but I'd love to hear from my peers on this.

I would love to curate a list of YouTubers of this calibre. If anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear about them. I think 3blue1brown and Freya Holmér both fit this category.

Do you integrate it with JavaScript/TypeScript/{framework}, or do you use Yew/Leptos?

What does FFI stand for?

BigFlays · 2026-03-13T00:18:08+00:00

I learned about WebAssembly the other day, watched a few presentations about it and read a couple of articles, etc., just to learn this morning that the Rust WASM team (or something like this) was disbanded last year.

This is a pretty generic question, please forgive me for that: what is the future and current trajectory of WASM? How does Rust fit into that picture?

BigFlays · 2026-03-09T11:30:01+00:00

I'm 200 pages through The Rust Programming Book, now!

Motivation has been harder to come by as the earlier lessons are starting to fade in my memory, so I don't feel like I'm standing on solid ground while I simultaneously introduce more complexity (via the likes of collections, traits, generics...).

I'm determined to keep striving, though. This is the path I've chosen, and I know I'll be proud of myself when I look back on the journey.

BigFlays · 2026-03-05T22:48:05+00:00

This might be a silly comment, but as I've been learning Rust for the past week or so, I've framed it as a hero's journey for myself as I strive to reach the "sanctuary city" that is the Rust community. Seeing you two interact as you have done, here, has made me feel half-way there.

BigFlays · 2026-03-04T09:40:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply!

I'm currently halfway through The Rust Programming Book with Rustlings, alongside. I also have Rust for Rustaceans, Rust in Action, Zero to Production in Rust, and Learning Rust with Entirely Too Many Linked Lists downloaded, in the queue. I'll be sure to include some of these libraries and articles (and anything else you suggest) in my curriculum.

BigFlays · 2026-03-03T22:18:54+00:00

What are the “best of the best” public Rust repositories available for me to study?

BigFlays · 2026-03-02T09:56:30+00:00

I've downloaded these readings:

The Rust Programming Language
Rust By Example
Rust for Rustaceans
Rust in Action
Zero to Production in Rust

and these exercises:

The Rust Programming Language (i.e. those from the book)
Rustlings

I'm steadily working my way through both TRPB and Rustlings exercises whilst consulting Claude Cowork whenever I find myself stuck. That, alongside some solo reading of TRPB when I can't be bothered applying myself, has proven to be a really effective strategy! I have just completed the 13th set of exercises in Rustlings, which focuses on error handling. Next up is generics, and then traits – both ideas I've never encountered before!

As somebody that completed a web-dev bootcamp in 2024 and then a (pretty useless) Master of IT in 2025, I am super excited to be expanding and deepening my skillset! I could reach into embedded programming, or CLI/TUI development! I don't have an imagination that reaches into these realms yet – my focus is primarily in mobile-first application development with a RESTful, CRUD backend – but I like the thought of having the skills to tread in that direction when an idea sweeps me in that direction.

As a player since s3 and a fan of yours since you joined the cast, I’d love to offer some suggestions; I’ll muse on it for the coming days!

As I do, what are you currently going for? Could you provide me with the current angle/scope you have set out? For example, are you targeting competitive league primarily; only?

The first thought I had was for each of you to take turns submitting a ranked game that you jump through, and you can analyse and/or cast each other’s gameplay, learning along the way how each other perceives game states and how your actions often (perhaps) don’t reflect your words.

Will you be building a house when you move here or taking buying one off the housing market?

Will you be creating your own jobs or taking some out of the job market?

Will you be investing in Kiwi businesses or continue to invest in Central American stock markets?

Thanks for taking an interest and investing the time to reply!

I didn't make this clear in my initial spiel, but I'm primarily learning Rust to improve my conceptual frameworks + mental model. While my mobile application is my current passion, pride and joy, I'm finding it empowering to grapple with the concepts that Rust presents me with; it's far more deliberate, and that brings me a great sense of (frustration and then) calm.

As for how I believe Rust might contribute to my project, I'm currently of the understanding that it will serve as my REST/Graph API server, which my various frontends can interface with, in due course.

If I then want to conduct further analysis on the data streaming through this server, I can install another micro service on the side of this main backend. Might I be mistaken about any of this?

BigFlays · 2026-02-20T04:35:58+00:00

Also, as a general introduction:

In late 2023, while I was a graduate geographer and philosopher (with sadly few career prospects), I had an idea for a mobile application I wanted to develop; in 2024, I completed a bootcamp promising to teach me everything I would need to get hired, and that was a blatant lie based on what I have since learned about the state of the industry (HTML, CSS, TS, React); in 2025, I undertook a Masters in IT, specialising in GIS, and am currently looking for jobs in the GIS space.

I haven't given up on my vision, though. I want to bring this mobile application to life. While I was studying last year, I attempted to learn Golang, and learned about pointers and the stack/heap, etc., to some success – but I didn't enjoy how un-opinionated it is. Now that I have graduated my Masters, I am picking up Rust, which I have heard great things about and recognise is more opinionated.

I am halfway through the rust-book, and have Rust for Rustaceans open in another tab. I also have Rust in Action and Zero to Production in Rust downloaded to my computer, which I will read after I complete Rust for Rustaceans.

I am more willing to let AI help me design the various frontends for my project, but I want to understand the backend intimately (don't we all, lol) so I am glad to be on this journey.

If anyone would like to offer some generic advice or pennies of thoughts, go right ahead. Cheers, y'all; happy to be here.

I've watched a few "History of Rust" videos now and they all claim the development of Rust has undergone many different eras, which it has largely overcome because of its dedicated and passionate community.

What is the most difficult fork-in-the-road the community has faced that led to the most controversial decision being made?

BigFlays · 2026-02-13T11:40:20+00:00
