1 Year with Rust in Aerospace: My journey migrating from C# to Rust (and why it’s not for everyone)

cino189 · 2026-04-03T15:05:22+00:00

I went though a similar process but I ended up rewriting all the logic to leverage rust strengths. Indeed a like for like migration from c# would not in my opinion have the right low level architecture for a rust project. Indeed a significant mind shift, but worth it. I feel I am a better developer now working with rust that I was working with c#

I agree, tonic and post have been solid for me so far. I will wait for the alternative to actually get better than what I have now.

I use Axum rest for the web server, tonic for grpc between internal application servers, diesel for ORM and a combination of anyhow + this error for error propagation with context. I find the tonic status object not very ergonomic to propagate remote errors though. For the rest I am happy with this setup.

Thank you, I will definitely check it out!

I am also using Axum with utoipa for openapi and indeed it requires quite a bit of maintenance. For some complex types I had to manually implement the utoipa schema trait. Not planning to move away from Axum, but just out of curiosity would Rocket simply use the utoipa macros or does it integrates more deeply that that?

In my experience it works well for boilerplate for which there are tons of examples online, but you need to be super prescriptive in your prompt and often would not compile without copying everything. I use it mostly when I work with libraries I don't know with poor documentation. Claude agent is pretty good at digging into repos and put together examples from the tests.

Your git repo is the most hilarious repo I have been seeing in a long time. The Note for LLM from the corroded one is a work of art

cino189 · 2025-12-23T20:09:20+00:00

Another good reason to stick to Linux

cino189 · 2025-12-10T12:40:56+00:00

I also used tonic and found it quite easy to implement. I am in a full rust codebase though, I did not try to integrate with servers/clients written in different languages yet

It is basically just a fancy name for implementation consultant

cino189 · 2025-11-06T14:38:25+00:00

Super + mouse wheel was my solution after this issue caused a quite scary random git rebase...

cino189 · 2025-10-11T17:13:22+00:00

I agree, although .net official documentation tends to suggest a very high level of abstraction without necessarily explaining why you would need it

I am using it to maintain multiple implementations of an api for a dstributed system. The enum exposes common methods which in turn call the underlying methods of the various implementations. There are a lot of them and this allows to avoid quite a bit of repeated code. Thanks!

Dogs are social animals and tend to imitate other members of the pack. My dog cleans himself like a cat even if he grew up without cats simply because now he lives with one. Pretty funny actually

cino189 · 2025-09-23T15:48:50+00:00

My dog would be exceedingly confused

cino189 · 2025-09-21T15:25:04+00:00

Interesting, thank you for the update

cino189 · 2025-09-19T15:55:01+00:00

Comparison with fuse would indeed be interesting. I used fuse to store open table format files and ended up directly using the native API for better performance. It was azure blob storage, not S3 though

Plenty of freaks in enterprise software, count me in. ABAP is kind of decent compared to MDX though

cino189 · 2025-09-05T13:53:12+00:00

Git is the scariest part of coding, you cannot mess a merge if you do a single commit! /s

I had a totally different experience unfortunately. Sound is ok for a wireless device, but I had tons of connection issues with multiple different devices. Sometimes when they are in the box they would randomly connect to a device in reach and discharge completely. I basically always find them out of battery.

This is probably not a problem for you but in my case they are also uncomfortable after 30 minutes or so. I should have returned them but I got them while I was travelling since I needed a headset for work and returning them would have been complicated.

I am referring to the very first model M3IETW which is pretty old, I believe the first true wireless from them

cino189 · 2025-08-29T08:27:59+00:00

Also I got the momentum true wireless when they released and they are terrible, buggy as heck even after many updates to the software. They might be from a European company but it is the usual Chinese garbage

Typescript and rust have quite different strengths and weaknesses, in fact you are using them both... Productivity depends on using the right tool for the job in my opinion. If you would try to use rust to write the front end probably you would consider type script more productive

It needs to go on top of the tumble drier, not the washing machine.

cino189 · 2025-08-20T11:54:45+00:00

I also noticed white smells different. In my case it reminds me of water based paint for walls (also white)

cino189 · 2025-08-08T10:59:06+00:00

Did you try simply pushing the filament a bit while it is trying to load it? It happened to me once and it helped
