Thank you! Finally going to take a stab at rust, glad to have some direction in that endeavor.

Thanks for the tip. Everything I read about Rust sounds really good, BUT, I've yet to download it and write Hello World, so not sure how painful it is in practice.

Awesome, thanks for the tips Steve :D Hopefully we'll have a few other projects coming up that I can use as an excuse to do more Rust!

Thanks for this. I've been thinking about getting into Rust recently and this motivates me to do so now.

This is an amazing postmortem--thanks for posting it! I'm really happy to hear about your success with Rust!

Glad to help! I am a huge huge fan of Rust. I'm almost always hanging out on ##rust and ##rust-beginners on Freenode if you want to ask questions synchronously. :)

bliti | karma 1486 | avg karma 1.88 · | 2015-05-16 14:22:27+00:00

Share more of experience with Rust. :)

omginternets | karma 10469 | avg karma 3.07 · | 2016-04-15 13:12:34+00:00

Okay, cool, that answers my question :)

What resources are you using to get into Rust? I've been curious for a while, but I'm not sure where to start.

Man, I really didn't expect all those nice and thoughtful responses. Thank you so much for everyone who replied it. It was really kind of you. Now I have a much better idea on what Rust was designed for and its strenghts. I've learnt so much here. Also thanks for the articles and videos you shared, I'll definitely take a look at them all.

I'm glad I didn't let the fear of been bashed to keep me away of asking. I'm not sure if I'll ever need to use Rust but it surely has the coolest people around it. :) Thank you guys!

Excellent! More and more posts like this push me to start learning rust by doing a WebAssembly project. Thank you.

lolinder | karma 32428 | avg karma 5.57 · | 2022-11-07 13:53:46

Thanks! I'm starting work on a VM right now for a side project and was seriously considering using Rust, so this will be really helpful!

eggy | karma 4041 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2019-04-06 13:00:40

That sounds reasonable. Thanks! I am looking forward to viewing the source to learn Rust.

gchp | karma 504 | avg karma 7.2 · | 2014-12-12 14:11:47+00:00

I second this 100%! Jump in, you won't regret it! The rust guide is a great place to start: http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html

The folks on the IRC channel are supper helpful too. Don't be afraid to ask!

I have been looking for an excuse to use Rust, thank you for the interesting post on all counts...

thomasahle | karma 6095 | avg karma 3.0 · | 2014-10-09 20:09:32+00:00

Ah cool, I still have a lot to learn about rust :)

muixoozie | karma 54 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2022-02-12 02:44:30

Thanks for all your hardwork! I've been dabbling in Rust and doing toy projects, but have years of experience in other languages. Are there any rust projects you recommend contributing to that have a good community?

jamwt | karma 2057 | avg karma 7.43 · | 2016-07-06 21:26:02+00:00

Thanks!

We're expanding our use of Rust into even more bold endeavours, details soon.

Based on our experience with it in the last 1.5 years, stick with it, it will return your effort many times over in the medium-long run. Then again, if there is no medium-long run for your project (as an entity needing maintenance), just use Python.
