Note for Rodion
Back to General discussions forum
Hi Rodion. Happy New Year. This is Larry Devlin. We communicated a few years back. I used to be a professional musician, and you told me about your disagreements with your wife about which is harder: music or coding.
I have a few accounts on here, each one dedicated to a different language.
I have recently started learning Rust. I am in the process of transferring the code files over to a new system. I will be loading the project to Github, something that is normally forbidden. However, I will mark the project as private so that only I can see it. I hope that is ok.
Regards,
Larry.
Larry, Hi! Glad to hear from you - I think I vaguely remember that discussion :)
I'd say for me Rust appeared pretty complicated language on the first few attempts!
Private github repo, of course, won't harm!
As about several accounts - it's no problem also - just it may be be good to put brief note in the "user info" field in profile "linking" them together somehow (simply as protection against mistaken administrative actions in rare times when there are onflows of university students).
UPD: just noticed I posted this from test account while testing minor feature requested couple days ago
Re Rust
My home languages have been Common Lisp (I adore it-- versatile, beautiful, extensible), Python (my first, and a lingua franca) and C (a classic, performant, low-level access).
Tired of segfaults and trying to figure out the source of bizarre bugs, I threw up my hands and abandoned C for Rust.
A bitch of a learning curve! Very humbling first few months. But now, I love the dominatrix compiler. I know that if my code compiles, and runs without an exception, it is likely correct, and almost surely safe.
I am also learning to think a lot differently about what it means to do Lisp consing, or traverse Python lists...from a lower level perspective.
For me, Rust and Lisp are yin and yang. Now, if I could only get them to play together nicely....
