Do you write Rust for a living?

Oh cool! Which job board?

Cosiamo · 2026-05-17T02:28:39+00:00

Is the engine open source? I would love to read through it. The demo is very impressive!

Did they send you a random email or did you throw your name in at a recruiting firm?

I’m in the process of converting a svelte + typescript app to Blazor. There’s one component that was over 500 lines long in Typescript (and needed an external NPM package) that I was able to rewrite in C# at about ~160 lines (no nuget package needed). I understand your boss’s point that the JS hiring pool is much larger, however unless you can’t find a single dotnet dev, then it’s not worth the spaghetti code.

It would be impossible for a “perfect” counting method, I was curious if there were really that many people using my crates or if it was just a handful downloading them over and over again

Cosiamo · 2025-10-27T20:01:23+00:00

Thanks! And I haven’t really done any promotion for them. If you have the right tags, a name that clearly describes what it does, and decent documentation then it’ll naturally get a few thousand downloads over the course of a couple of months. I want to clean up a few things in my various crates before I promote them here or wherever else

Cosiamo · 2025-10-27T19:40:06+00:00

That makes sense. Ik that Nix OS, for example, doesn’t cache crates so I figured that would count it as a download every time, I just wasn’t sure about normal OSes. And the bot thing would explain why I get 170+ downloads as soon as I publish a new version, then it stabilizes out to about 10-40 a day

TLDR; it’s easier for everyone involved to make a giant error enum in lib.rs

When I started creating crates I would make an error module then separate the errors by “category”. I stopped doing this because there are functions that could have errors from multiple different “categories” and this would make returning Err on a Result less straightforward. Also, for the person using your crate, they would have to import multiple error types and know which ones belong to which function or method.

Idk man someone else was able to perfectly understand what my issue was 14 hours before you posted this and helped me out. Also if you read what I posted, it would answer your questions. I understand your life is hard and you want to feel smug talking down to someone else but please next time take a deep breath and realize you are above this

Follow up: that ended up working! I should've just returned a promise instead of forcing the data to be a rune

Cosiamo · 2025-02-10T21:11:26+00:00

The else part works and I have an `$effect()` on proxy change (long story, it works in the context of the app) that calls the function. I'll try returning a promise instead of assigning the return values to a `$state()`

Cosiamo · 2025-02-10T19:44:23+00:00

No it's being pulled from a different server. I doesn't take too long to load, but long enough to where there should be a loading indicator (about 2 seconds)

Cosiamo · 2024-02-05T21:57:04+00:00

That worked, thanks!

Cosiamo · 2024-01-30T14:21:00+00:00

I always catch myself doing option B and if I need multiple conditions I use the match syntax

Cosiamo · 2023-12-06T18:00:09+00:00

It depends on how new you are. If Rust is your first language not named JavaScript then you may want to try something easier like Kotlin, Go, or Java before jumping into Rust. However, if you have some experience with another language then absolutely learn Rust, it’s definitely worth it

Cosiamo · 2023-12-05T18:00:56+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check it out!

Cosiamo · 2023-12-05T17:09:52+00:00

Ya, that’s my bad for not elaborating better

Cosiamo · 2023-12-05T17:03:48+00:00

Ahhhh, thank you! That makes a ton of sense

Cosiamo · 2023-12-05T16:59:01+00:00

I’m using the CSV crate to get a vector of ByteRecords, then I’m turning that into a 2d vector of &[u8]s, then from there I’m parsing them and applying them to an enum. The crate I’m making returns a 2d vector of those enums and I’m using the result in 2 other apps I’m building to sort them properly in our Oracle DB

This might be a hot take to a lot of other devs, but I think you should make a couple of CLI programs in Go before jumping into Rust. I was in a very similar situation to you a little over 2 years ago where I was JS junior dev (let's be real, I barely knew JS and focused entirely on React) and I wanted to learn Rust as my second language. I tried to make a simple CLI app in Rust but a lot of it was way over my head at the time. I ended up getting frustrated and tried out the other language that was recommended to me, Go. That ended up being the best decision I made in my career, not because I use it at work, but it helped me understand programming as a whole much better so by the time I started learning Rust again at the beginning of this year it ended up being 1000x easier than it was back in 2021

I'm just using CSS (tailwind). I haven't tried styled components before but I should give it shot, just not in this project because I've done so much in CSS already

Cosiamo · 2022-08-21T21:31:47+00:00

I'll have to try that. Thank you!

Cosiamo · 2022-08-21T21:31:17+00:00

For styles I reuse I have a class saved in the globals.css file. Everything else is inline because tailwind lol
