   I’m a fan of Rust. Discovered it in mid 2020 and am loving every piece of it. It does have its warts (e.g. incomplete async story) but what language doesn’t? In particular I like its chatty compiler — lots of d’oh mistakes are caught while

   We use sqx: https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx . The devs create and commit the up/down migration files and the cicd runner runs the migrations against the db.

   I recommend giving Actix Web a try, was able to use the knowledge of Python Flask to build it. Rust has sum types which makes development much nicer especially with all the inevitable business logic that is associated with backend web dev.

    I don't think the choice of language/framework matters too much in the grand scheme of things provided you understand the concepts behind the decisions that languages/frameworks make for you. So pick whichever piques your int

    I'm in a similar boat to op. I love my MacBook Pro (and other apple products) but after the Apple debacle, I've decided to go back to Fedora. I'm building my own custom 16 core 64GB 7000MB/s NVMe workstation but if I wer

    I love “This American Life”. I usually play it during long road trips. The best episodes make me tear up — it’s that good!

    For live help I highly recommend Discord servers. I’m a member of the Rust Community Server and love hanging out and helping however I can. As others have mentioned you can join the Go discord server. If you don’t know how a Discord server

    I’ve used this book in the past to learn modern C++: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1484233654/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm... For greenfield projects I’d opt for Rust over C++.

    It's 2.96 MB large so about the size of a high quality photo. My webapp doesn't have many pages yet so I expect this to grow by a couple KB.

    Please keep in mind that there is more to software dev than web programming. Rust may not be popular as as server language now and never may be, but there are multitudes of other reasons why one should consider learning Rust.

    I would say it depends. Rust aims to solve perennial issues in software development by bringing as many issues “forward” in the development cycle. The way I think about the tradeoffs personally is that Rust is more "durable" than

    I’ve been using Actix-Web for the backend and Seed-rs for the frontend and it’s been a blast. One language to run on the server and in the browser. I admit I still have to write scss and know html but that’s no biggie. Biggest pro for using
