Rust as a first language is hard… but I like it.
Hey Rustaceans! 👋
I’m still pretty new to Rust—it’s my first language, and wow, it’s been a wild ride. I won’t lie, it’s hard, but I’ve been loving the challenge. Today, I wanted to share a small victory with you all: I just reached a significant milestone in a text-based game I’m working on! 🎉
The game is very old-school, written with Ratatui, inspired by Shadowrun, and it’s all about that gritty, cyberpunk feel. It’s nothing fancy, but I’ve poured a lot of love into it. I felt super happy today to get a simple new feature that improves the immersion quite a bit. But I also feel a little lonely working on rust without a community around, so here I am.
I’m hoping this post might get a few encouraging words to keep the motivation going. Rust has been tough, but little victories make it all worth it. 🦀💻
