Time to do trying to write my own graph algorithms in #rust and just use a library instead. I would like to get results!

What's everyone using as a PAGER on #unix now-a-days? `less(1)` is still the default on many systems I use, but I've sometimes uses `most(1)`.

Is there some fancy-pants modern #rust based pager or anything now?

... must resist urge to rewrite more things in #rust

2 new #Rust libraries for yous. Read & write GeoJSON Sequences & JSON Sequences.
(rfc8142 & rfc7464)

Oh Heaptrack is a nice programme to measure & analyze heap memory access of a programme. Works nicely & easily with #Rust code.
I'm finding it quite easily to reduce memory allocations in my code.

Sometime I should give #Rocket a try to build a web app in #Rust. I used to do a lot of #Django. But I'm doing my coding in Rust now.

oooh… #Rust's `std::iter::from_fn(move || { … })` is pretty useful. 🙂

Now to debug my #cgi programme...

Stack Overflow?! In my #Rust?

$ ( ls Cargo.toml ; find ./src/ -type f -name '*.rs' ) | entr -r cargo test

this is what I use to automatically run #rust tests when a file is saved

Grrr! I'm not supposed to get segfaults when writing #Rust programmes! This makes things hard

ah #rust lifetime checker we meet again

Whenever I have to use #NodeJS software, I see the benefits of #Rust's staticly checked typed.

I'm writing this software in #Rust with reqwest. I wonder is there a caching wrapper for that?

I'm going to have to learn how #rust's futures & async works at some point.

"I know I'll just write a quick #Rust programme to proxy my http connections and add the header that I want".

Oh cripes, I forgot hyper's now gone weird with Futures and the like.

I have also learned about `impl Into<Cow<_>>` to accept a `&T` and `T`. Which, in retrospect, should have been obvious to me, but I just didn't put 2 and 2 together.
It should make my #rust code more cleaner/ergonomic!

"Elegant Library APIs in #Rust"
Now this is an interesting guide!
(I learned about the `impl Into<Option<T>>` which looks very useful!)

Ung. I love #Rust in many ways, but the String/&str thing often wrecks my head. Why is there &str *and* &String? Making functions they can take either type is annoying. (currently trying to wrap my head around Borrow vs AsRef).

OMG, I just discovered if you put this in your Cargo.toml (in a #Rust proj) then dev mode will run as fast a release mode!
