Wow, since I released rustup 1.18.0 I've actually had people look at and try crates.io/crates/git-testame… which I really wasn't expecting. Here's hoping I get some good feature requests and/or bug reports :D (#unexpected @rustlang community engagement FTW)

Oh, that's very cool. I could use something like that with Go. (And I've been doing Rust tutorials recently so maybe I'll get some use out of it :-) )

Yes More Rust. I understand your employer likes Rust too :D

They do indeed. Rust now powers quite a lot of functionality. There's still a huge amount of Go, though, and I still like writing Go. Rust is hurting my head a little bit...

Rust has a bit of a learning cliff sadly :D

No kidding. There's things I like, but things which (at least, 2/3rds through the book) make my head hurt and wonder "WHY". The Option type and match statements are weird to me.

option, result, match - all ready for me because of some haskell in my background. Lifetimes were a pig to fully grok

Oh I'm hating lifetimes, especially how noisy they make function definitions. The implementation looks pretty gross. Option hurts my head mostly because the values are Some() or None(). Some() makes me go wat.

once lifetimes twig, they're amazing. As for the others, I guess you'll get used to the syntax eventually
