One of the things that the Rust programming language is famous for is its SPEED!
But even Rust code can be optimized to run even FASTER at times.
The Filtering Duplicates on the Command Line: 30x Faster than sort|uniq article by Karolin Varner tells a tale of optimizing the PERFORMANCE of some Rust code.
I must STUDY these Rust optimization techniques!
I have read some discussion about Rust programming language users reaching a state of ENLIGHTENMENT in the When you learned Rust, what was your “aha!” moment? reddit submission.
For some of the Rust users the moment of enlightenment involves such matters as BORROWING, REFERENCES, and LIFETIMES.
To me this is not a surprise, as those are some of the more complex parts of the Rust learning EXPERIENCE.
To be a Rust master one must KNOW borrowing.
This discussion also makes me realize that one must sometimes be PERSISTENT when learning Rust.
Even if the enlightenment has not come to you as a new Rust user yet, maybe you should PERSEVERE.
Through perseverance maybe some day your moment of Rust programming language EPIPHANY will come!
Introducing new tech into an established workplace can be a DAUNTING task!
Sometimes even just upgrading to a new version of a technology already in use faces PUSHBACK and BUREAUCRACY.
Resistance to using new technology may be one of the things that can slow down Rust's ADOPTION in the workplace.
There was recent Have you tried to introduce Rust in the workplace? How was your experience? discussions at reddit about Rust in the WORKPLACE!
There may be WISDOM in reading and understanding how these other people have attempted this feat.
It is an article that I have not yet read completely, but A Pragmatic Approach To Global State by Michael F. Bryan is one that I am SAVING to my reading queue.
Global state can be such a COMPLEX topic and when it involves Rust and C and FFI then it can be a real CHALLENGE!
When I have the time I must STUDY this article and the techniques it describes.
I almost never write Rust code that uses unsafe so it is something I know so little about, but that makes it something that I should LEARN more about!
The Some Nuances of Undefined Behavior in Rust article gave me so much to THINK about.
I think I will need to STUDY the article's material more.
And I think I will be safe and just NOT WRITE Rust code that uses unsafe!
