Cranston's Life - Rust and More Rust

I'm new to this whole WebAssembly thing but it is already CHANGING my mindset!

The Porting a JavaScript App to WebAssembly with Rust (Part 1) article is the first part of a series about porting a web application from JavaScript to ... RUST!

When programmers think about Rust they probably think of APPLICATIONS or SERVER SIDE PROGRAMMING.

But now if WASM lets Rust be used to write applications that run in the web browser, the line between client side and server side programming is BLURRED!

Is it really true that we may encounter a future where we can use Rust EVERYWHERE, even in places where we would have once had to use a different language like JavaScript?!

I must LEARN MORE about WASM.

Stephen Crane has written the article called Source Code Linking: Merging C Headers into Rust Modules and I think it is INTERESTING!

It is about C2Rust and migrating or translating C code to Rust and some of the CHALLENGES that can come up.

Being able to convert C code to Rust code sounds SO USEFUL!

But it also sounds SO CHALLENGING to me!

With great CHALLENGE can come great SATISFACTION though.

I must FOLLOW the progress of C2Rust!

New versions of Rust always make me HAPPY!

Today's reason for being HAPPY is the announcement that Rust 1.40.0 is released!

I do not know yet if any of these changes will change my life, but I can't rule it out either!

I must LEARN MORE about Rust 1.40.0.

Rust and MongoDB users REJOICE!

There is now a new official Rust driver for MongoDB!

There was already a prototype driver, but now there is a new one that is "officially supported"!

This is WONDERFUL NEWS for Rust users who need to access MongoDB, no doubt!

Official support can simplify the life of a developer.

I must LEARN more about this new Rust driver for MongoDB!

Bisection is SUCH an important tool to have in one's software debugging toolbox.

I use it all of the time!

Users of the git version control system can sometimes use the git bisect command to help them bisect.

I just read this article about the cargo-bisect-rustc utility.

It is a tool that uses bisection to help track down bugs in the Rust compiler!

ASTOUNDING!

I must STUDY this tool more!
