How do i write better Rust code?,
Any project ideas / tips?

From what ppl tell me, you will need some long socks with pink strips, and cat ears.

Rust is all about thinking outside the box and finding a good abstraction/pattern which allows you to do what you need with little friction from the borrow checker

It's hard, and can be frustrating, but after a while you'll get the hang of it

I don't think there are general rules for writing better Rust. Only way is to write a whole lot of Rust and see what works and what doesn't

If you have any specific questions though, feel free to hit me up here on DevRant. (note: @adding someone only works in comments, not in posts)

Just spam Lorentz or 12bitfloatii

@magicMirror cat ears for sure, I think they have that as swag instead of stickers. But who would want a sticker of a lame crab anyway.

On topic: like every language. Just do it. Pick an app you want to copy or something new and make it. If you don't know what to make : a terminal multiplexer like tmux / screen is smth that hits quite a few different areas. Subprocessing, ipc / sockets communication, tty handling etc. It's probably enough to cover some basics of the Lang. I like to make stuff myself and check later how with AI if I took a good way.

Choose another language.

@magicMirror see, I was gonna be nice and not post something mean. Then you come in with this? lol

I was just gonna say: "don't". Which I thought was kinda mean.

@12bitfloat

I keep hoping Rust will show the C++ committee that things can be better. So it inspires the committee to finally find the better language hiding in C++. Not sure it will happen in my lifetime though.

@Demolishun

> c++ committee

> better

yeah... thats not happening lol

@12bitfloat fuuuuuuuuuuuck....

@Demolishun It's so sad too because C++ is such a powerful language but they just can't stop themselves from implementing features which are convoluted and half-baked at the same time

go on, go on, breath it all in, let rust's nuances choke the newbie out of ya

tip 1: replace rust with c#

Thanks everyone some of the comments were funny and i even choked on my sprite when reading some of them.

especially the mentioning of cat ears lol
