Easy Rust in Korean on YouTube is basically done
Easy Rust in Korean is close to done. It would be done by this week (mostly only a few videos on async left) but we have to move in two weeks so those last ones will have to wait a bit, but close enough to let /r/rust know. If you have any Korean friends who want to learn Rust then feel free to point them to the playlist here which stands at 171 videos at the moment.
The positive reaction to creating this playlist has helped pull me through making the whole thing again in another language because there are so many people out there that have written that they didn't understand how Rust works until they came across the playlist. The Book does have a Korean translation and a few other books are or will be translated (Rust in Action and Rust for Rustaceans I know are on their way) so there's some improvement coming on that front as well, but video content has been really hard to find in Korean. Most comments are along the lines of how much easier it is to understand the Book after watching a few dozen of these videos.
Marketwise I work as a Rust developer here in Korea so jobs do exist, and I see positions on LinkedIn from time to time for companies here that mention it. You'll usually see it in terms of a company considering its merits or looking for someone who knows "Go/C++/Rust" or some similar selection as a nice to have.
Here's one example of a company considering using it from the Korean Rust Discord:
저희 회사에서 또 신규 직원을 모집하게 되었습니다.
러스트 못 하고 C만 하셔도 괜찮습니다. (C의 한계를 느끼고 러스트로 서서히 갈아탈 예정)
Our company is looking for another employee. It's okay if you only know C (we've been feeling the limitations of using just C and are slowly planning a transition to Rust)
And yes, most of the LinkedIn positions are about crypto stuff (my job doesn't involve any crypto) so that's something to take into account.
Once all the videos are done I plan to do live coding. I gave that a try last week with an egui app but my poor laptop couldn't take having to do four things at once (OBS Studio + VS Code + Powershell + egui app in its own window) and just completely froze up each time after about 20-40 minutes. I found that I love live coding though (nothing to prepare!) and until I get a better computer I think I'll try something more humble like a CLI using tui and crossterm so just one extra window for Powershell. So the plans for June are to finish up the remaining videos and live code a Korean-English word processor.
I also wonder if it's time to start thinking about putting a RustCon Asia together again now that borders are opening up.
