| From: Tom Low-Shang via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I'm interested in your thoughts on Rust if you attended the talk. The talk was mostly a guided creation of a program. So I don't think that it answered any of your questions. | I'm currently learning Rust the old fashioned hacker way (from books and | other people's code :)). My biggest mistake was trying to use Rust with | SDL2 to display some graphics. My head still hurts from banging it into | a wall called 'lifetimes'. :) The whole idea of borrowing etc. is fundamental to Rust and how it ensures safety. Without garbage collection. If you don't like or understand this approach, Rust isn't useful.
