I'd like to start adding a 'quote of the week' to TWiR . So far though I've been terrible about taking note of good quotes from the Rust world. And also there is much more going on than I can follow personally. So this thread is to beg for people who see insightful or funny things said about or in r…

A very nice quote about Rust If you only have experience with dynamically typed languages that will allow you to compile a ham sandwich, there's a good chance you'll be frustrated by Rust. https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2021/04/13/rust-is-for-professionals/

The multiple references to Gregory Szorc's article inspired me to give it a read. As a beginner, I am always skeptical that I am engaging in confirmation bias reading an article about the benefits of Rust's ownership model and the memory safety it provides, to the extent that the author is preachin…

Having also read Gregory Szorc's article I think he did a good job of highlighting what truly separates Rust from other languages.

[image] Rust for "data first" problems? You just turn the wheel, press the pedals, and burn rubber. Indeed. And is so often the case with sports cars when one "turns the wheel, presses the pedals, and burns rubber" in many other languages the results may very well not be what one had in mind.

You won’t appreciate Rust unless you spend few weeks building something in it. The initial steep learning curve could be frustrating or challenging depending on how you see it, but once past that it’s hard not to love it. It’s a toddler with superpowers after all :heartpulse: Deepu K Sasidharan o…

I often think about Rust as a process and community for developing a programming language, rather than as a programming language itself. throwaway894345 commenting here ( The Plan for the Rust 2021 Edition | Hacker News ) They were responding to Rust isn’t only a great language, it’s a model of …

I just found this to be quite fitting and no one proposed something in quite a while.
