My first day in Rust
I am a programmer with 15 years of experience in C# and the full Microsoft stack. I dream in LINQ and Entity Framework Core. Today was my first deep dive into Rust and I loved it.
My observations:
- Rust is very precise and type safe. Way more precise than C#. No dynamics ever in Rust
- The compiler is actually helpful.
- I was under the impression that I was actually using my IQ points while programming again. Which was a pleasant surprise. Rust is the ultimate counterspell to vibe coding.
- Setting up swagger was more difficult than it. Needed to be.
- Rust code rots faster than C# code. Many examples on GitHub are unusable.
- I wasn’t really a fan of the idea of being forced into nightly compiler builds to use the rocket framework.
Just my 2 cents.
