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.

    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

      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.
