I’ve only been coding with Python/Javascript since I started my career. I do APIs and websites frontend. I don’t really understand what is interesting in learning an other language. For example, I could learn Ruby, but I’d do the same thing I already do.
Rust, C/C++ tho seem to me to be languages to code other things. Hence my question : what do you code? If possible, make distinction between personal projects and professional projects.
I wrote a web server to store markdown documents with links between them, a sort of ‘zettelkasten’. Now I’ve made it into a tauri app that runs on my phone, web server and all, and can sync with the main server in the cloud. Documents everywhere! Front end is in elm and not rust tho.
I’ve made a few other projects in rust, did a audio dsp thing that is a delay with web controls, made a blinky sketch for the rp2040.
Rust is cool because you can write pretty high level code in it, with lots of libraries to help out, or you can write bare metal code with no OS for embedded.
I’d love to browse your code. Do you have any of this in a public git repo?
Sure, the web server is here and the tauri project is here. The syncing and tauri bit is pretty immature right now, but its getting there. There was an issue with media playback on android that had me blocked for a few months, but that’s solved now.
