I have been programming in Rust for about 8 years now. I love the language. But I feel I have some confessions I must make.
-
I don't know if I use tabs or spaces in my final code. I just assume that it all get solved correctly by cargo fmt.
I don't even understand that people have been arguing about this for real? I vaguely remember this being important in C and C++, but I am hoping I never go back to those dark days.
-
I never do linebreaks, not even when adding my semicolons. I hit ":w" and if shit doesn't move around on my screen, I fucked up somewhere.
-
The only lifetime I ever use is '_, 'a or 'static otherwise I give up
-
Wtf is the 'de lifetime in serde deserialize??
-
Rocket is the best web server
-
I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it's not better, and I argue that it is.
Okay, got that of my chest. Never dared telling anyone this before. Feels scary
Number 4 hit home for me. I've been just trying random shit until it compiles. When it compiles it usually works without understanding what the fuck is going on
Programming rust on an off for 2 years or so
