Blog: Get serious about rust, by writing more rust

I spent some time pontificating about why I like rust so much as a language and why I ended up writing so much of it in 2023.

The last paragraph pretty much sums up my thoughts:

"Rust is an amazing language but an even more amazing tool to get things done. Check it out, learn its ways, then enjoy the confidence that comes from writing code within the confines of the borrow checker."

There is the perception that software takes longer to write in rust or prototype, but I find that the more rust I write the less true this becomes. And this is coming from someone who used to prototype ideas in Ruby (which I still love) and Python (which I am still very ambivalent about).

Rust, the tooling and ecosystem are pretty amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing where the language goes this year (aside from production in more of my projects, of course).
