The idea here is that this is a general discussion mega thread style post. Feel free to come in and ask questions, answer questions, and generally discuss.
This can go on as long as we want, and stay pinned if that works. We can simply using sorting to see the latest or “biggest” comments in here.
Getting started with rust!?
- Setting up a development environment …
- basic concepts for people new to rust …
- hardest concepts to start preparing for …
- crates (libraries) and concepts most relevant to the Lemmy codebase/platform.

Would it make sense to start a regular sort of “reading group”, through scheduled posts (happy to arrange), of this?
Best case would be someone livestreaming and the rest follow, though idk if anyone wants to do that, and time zones would make it pretty difficult.
Not sure tbh, I’ve also never partaken in anything like this
Yea, if anyone wants to do live-streaming type stuff and use this community as a rallying point of sorts, if that works, then by all means.
However IMO the best path for this community would be to put that sort of thing to the side and instead use it as an opportunity to do some self-learning first … and then, the moment you get lost, lazy, lose focus or just bored … you can come here, post where you got up to, what got you side tracked and see what discussions flow from there.
You might find someone else’s post tickle your interest and have something to contribute or at least find it an interesting problem to solve yourself.
Some may have simple posts and problems, others big and complex. In the end though, expecting something like a twitch or YouTube channel won’t work. Unless of course some people are happy to start such things, which would be awesome, and would complement this community a great deal as longer offline discussion could happen here.
I think I’d be up to starting a twitch channel. This way anyone who’s looking to learn together can jump into chat and we can talk without the pressure involved in a voice chat. Of course, I’d need to find a decent time for everyone. If you’re chill with it I (or you if prefered) can make a post later today to gauge interest.
I like the idea as it could spur interaction and a post-stream discussion might result in more activity especially with a larger group all starting at once.
If others like the concept and are willing we could even swap out hosts every so often. I’ll start, but others would be encouraged to join in or take over for a day. Especially if they’re in another timezone
Late to this thread but I’d be here for a twitch stream
I agree … that sounds awesome and I think there’d be quite a few up to watch and follow along.
Post away … I’m happy to pin it too.
I haven’t advertised the community elsewhere just because I thought it would make sense to take it slow at first, presuming people from the lemmy community would be relatively keen, but I figure I should start advertising elsewhere soon … probably doing so in a staggered fashion.
Once you’ve got a twitch channel running, that’d be worth sharing around the place too.
