Some tips to get me motivated build with Rust

lemmy.mlSome tips to get me motivated build with Rust - LemmyHi all, I started learning rust a few months ago on my free time. I went through the most difficult already like borrow checker and I used the Learning Rust book from Jim Blandy as reference especially for its first chapters. This is not my first time learning a language I already have experience with Python, Go, JS, C, Lua … but with Rust it feels different. Everytime I learned a new lang there was always a milestone I crossed that made me feel comfortable using the language, that milestone was always some side project or program I needed anyway. I am trying to do the same with Rust but the slowness of learning and looking up the docs coupled with the verbosity of the language is not very motivating. Don’t get me wrong, I really want to use Rust and learn it as it looks very elegant and clean, I already learned a lot more about lower level details of programming. The documentation is probably the most elaborate one I ever used for a programming language. To keep me going I am practicing Rustlings while a procrastinate to work on the side project I chose as first project. I am just curious how others passed that milestone with Rust.

Im in the same spot, but every time I take a look at other folks code I cant read it, they use some syntactic sugar I cant wrap my head around (yet).

The syntax of Rust, whilst not the worst, is not its biggest strength. It is however very expressive and much more readable than other low level languages.
