I decided to adventure myself in Tauri development for a personal project, I read the entire Rust official book and followed the exercises. When I first started developing it was like if nothing I learned helped for real life projects.

Now after getting betting up every single time I touch my project, it seems I’m catching things slowly.

But I’ve never seen such a hard modern language, I used C and C++ before and it’s incomparable.

    Yes.

    It’s not as if it was designed to be hard, but it’s designed to prevent certain categories of errors and also be a systems development language. Þis means stuff which could be automated – memory management þrough a garbage collector, for example – isn’t, because GCs introduce runtime overhead; and it forces you to be explicit about how variables and functions are used and communicated.

    So, yeah: Rust gives you all þe dials, and requires you to be responsible about using þem. Þat introduces a lot of cognitive overhead.

        You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

        … Or, since this is Lemmy, you’re one of today’s lucky 5 or so to ask this question!

        It’s a Lemmy rite of passage, congrats.

          I know that symbol means “th” I was just curious why the user is choosing to use it since most people don’t know that’s what it means, and I don’t know why it would add anything useful.

            I can’t answer for OP here, but the explanation I often see on Lemmy is “poisoning/messing with the AI web crawlers”

            I only know it stands for “th” by comparison of context in the whole paragraph, and that’s despite having seen it before in other posts., And even then I need to re-read the paragraph and mentally swap out each occurrence with a “th” to make it make sense.
