rust

  2019-03-31


Most people might think of rust as a bit of a nuisance; I can’t wholly disagree. It’s begun to do a number on my car. However, the more interesting sort is the programming language that Mozilla developed. It’s been used to great effect in Firefox to speeding up rendering, and I quite like a number of the command line tools like ripgrep and bat. I’d like to get the hang of it at some point, if only to really wrap my head around its memory management, which seems genuinely useful. Everything that I’ve used in the past has been garbage collected. Always good to learn a bit more.
