@butlermatt you're a Rust developer!! That's so awesome! I've been trying to figure out a side project so I could get some exposure to Rust.
@butlermatt Nice! We use Go, Ruby, Scala, Java, Python and Elixer at my job.
@rhymiz I'm trying to add Go, but primarily we use Dart, then Java, JavaScript and Python and a little Scala. Much of which is all open source on Github, with some proprietary stuff built on top of it.
@rhymiz Oh, and C. Which is my reason for wanting to look into Rust and Go
@butlermatt
I think you'd be much happier using Rust as a C replacement (if that's your plan).
@rhymiz Haha sadly it's not my "plan". For me, the best thing to do is implement it myself, then bring it to management and "Hey look what I did" and get it seriously considered as a replacement then.
@butlermatt That makes sense. I've seen people take that approach before. Result is usually 50/50.
Ah, this is your chance! *evil laugh*
I think Rust is a little easier to wrap your head around than C, at least, for someone who hasn't done any kind of work in C.
There is a learning curve, but it's not too bad. In my opinion, of course.
@rhymiz There are some factors that make it more likely to succeed in the current case, including the fact that one of the main C developers has since left and there are bugs to deal with. But first it's wrapping my head around Rust while also tackling a bunch of other work
