I guess I could do an #introduction

I'm a programmer who works on all sorts of different things. I work a lot in #rust (#rustlang) and #csharp. I make websites, plugins for FFXIV, backend server binaries and whatnot.

I'm very gay and post about that a lot. I like reading scifi and fantasy, watching TV shows in those same genres, and binging very specific YouTube channels (nothing popular).

Oh, I'm very liberal if that wasn't obvious. I don't interact with people who don't think I deserve rights or who are total assholes (usually go hand-in-hand). If you think equity and equal rights are a bad thing, you're garbage.

I'm friendly, and if I get safe vibes from you, I'll follow! Say hi c:

@anna

Do you have any tips on how to best learn the language? I've used C++/Python/Go in my job, but I'm the only one I know who consistently uses the latter two at work, and I definitely don't know anyone who uses Rust 😅

@brianchau Definitely the Rust Book (doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/) and Rustlings (github.com/rust-lang/rustlings). The borrow checker has gotten a lot easier to work with over the years, due to lots of great work by various people. The hardest part for most people, I think, is wrapping their heads around lifetimes/ownership, usually a completely new concept of memory management to most people.
