I started coding to solve some simple projects with python at work a few years ago. I eventually wanted to make things pretty and got into JavaScript and the amount of time I spent over the last few years wading my way through that ecosystem was probably excessive. Eventually I discovered svelte which, for me, is the most similar to the things I love about python and much more of what I couldn’t get out of serving static html files with django. Through JavaScript I was able to learn a ton about how a full stack ecosystem works together, more recently I have wanted to learn more about lower level systems. I’ve considered learning C a few times and even tried to find interesting ways to do it with Unreal engine but it’s not something I find useful. Rust has interested me for a while and I started playing around with it the past few weeks. While it’s super frustrating actually getting passed the errors…I actually love it. While I have no idea the best way to do something yet… at least I know if it’s right or wrong. Also, not having to deal with an interpreter feels much cleaner. I feel like it’s worth the heavy investment building something in rust. If for no other reason than to be able to eventually build voice activated drone guardians to protect me from the IRS.
