Cranston's Life - Rust and More Rust

The article Yes, I am still learning Rust has some THOUGHTS about what it means to learn Rust.

It does make me THINK about the question, Do we ever really stop learning Rust?

NO, I do not think that we do.

As Rust EVOLVES, so must our knowledge of it.

If we stand still, Rust will keep GOING!

And another QUESTION to consider is, Can one ever really know all of Rust?

That too is a question that makes me PONDER.

I think it could be IMPOSSIBLE to truly know everything there is to know about Rust.

Yes, there are Rust programmers who are EXPERTS and who have massive EXPERIENCE with Rust.

Such programmers are probably the closest to experiencing true Rust ENLIGHTENMENT.

But for the rest of us, I think we will need to be satisfied with just having KNOWLEDGE about Rust.

Learning Rust is such an INTERESTING topic, and the PHILOSOPHY of learning Rust is also so interesting to me, too!

It is always INTERESTING to me to learn what programmers of other languages think about Rust.

Impressions of Rust as a Swift Developer: Memory Management by Spencer Kohan is the kind of article that INFORMS me of such thoughts!

That article compares the memory MANAGEMENT approaches of the Rust and the Swift programming languages.

BEWARE of the spoiler, but the conclusion makes me THINK: "My takeaway from this has been that while these languages do have some common goals, they have fundamentally different characteristics which lend themselves to different use-cases."

The role of Rust and the role of Swift and when to use them is something I must PONDER about!

I have been READING about Rust and .NET interop!

WOW!

This INTERESTING work is described like: "So the result is that Rust code can call .NET code, and vice versa."

This work is still in progress, but WOW!

I think that this is some REMARKABLE work!

I have SEEN that the 2020 RustConf Call for Proposals is now open!

For those WONDERING, it says that "The RustConf CFP will be open through Monday, April 5th, 2020, hope to see your proposal soon!".

This is so EXCITING!

I am sure there will be submitters with GREAT proposals!

I have been reading some of FFI patterns #1 - Complex Rust data structures exposed seamlessly to C++ and it is INTENSE!

The world of FFI can be so COMPLEX but that means that there is just so much for me to learn about things like Rust and C++ and FFI.

I have only dipped my toes into this KNOWLEDGE and I have so far to go in my journey to understand this subject.

I must STUDY this matter more, as there is so much for me to learn about it!
