npub1fzx00c36ny4whyuhg4ykx6987wxp885fmwmc784n27qcu6pavwzs3wt6h3 (npub1fzx…t6h3) I like it even better now. Most languages I learn much faster (though I'm not doing it for work yet); it's taken me several years on and off to get to this level of competence.
I've never been much of a C coder, mostly Perl since 2000 or so until recently, and Rust satisfies my desires of being fairly easy to write correctly, running ferociously fast, and having a rich library ecosystem (I particularly like "algorirhm crates" like pathfinding).
A thing I didn't get with Perl: it's quite rare for me to find a bug after the code has compiled successfully. Most of the bugs I generate are things that Rust's compiler will catch.
