It is a macro

https://tourofrust.com/ – friends, this is dope

@illuminaughty I don’t have a reason either but everyone seems to love it who uses it and fomo

@tw001 yes, TourOfRust is legit. Rust makes for a great CLI tool across platforms. It’s awesome when performance is top priority too. For most uses though, I find the learning curve too steep and the cost to find talent that knows it also expensive.

Which means, you’ll probably make a nice salary when you know it.

I just want old stuff C/C++ and Java to die ASAP. My delusion is by learning Rust I will contribute to their slow demise.

One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us!

Why

@kiki I don't actually know why.

Now I'm in chapter 7 of Tour of Rust. Three chapters to go.

Learning is key
