Rust 2021

When I first got into Rust, I didn't know what "safety" means at all. But when I try it out, I am surprised by one thing, when it compiles, it mostly works which I kinda knows what "safety" means after that. At that time, it was also interecting to see the word "zero-cost abstraction" which sounds cool.

Sometime later, when I got back into Rust, there is one project that I started working on and found interesting, which is one of those oxiding projects. https://github.com/rust-dc/fish-manpage-completions Python to Rust, I am familier with Python but Rust seemed to similar while porting it.

Lately, not sure why but I spend more time in Rust projects. I found https://github.com/maciejhirsz/beef (compact Cow) interesting so I try making my own https://github.com/pickfire/ve (compact Vec) but it wasn't exactly faster, I did it by hand-porting bit-by-bit from alloc vec library but it was not exactly faster, then I somehow found parts to improve.

What have I been doing in Rust?

At the beginning of 2030, I found this essay in my archives. From what I know today, I think it was very insightful at the moment of writing. And I feel it should be published because it can teach us, Rust developers, how to prevent that sad story from happening again.

What killed Haskell, could kill Rust, too

What killed Haskell, could kill Rust, too. Why would I even mention Haskell in this context? Well, Haskell and Rust are deeply related. Not because Rust is Haskell without HKTs. (Some of you know what that means, and the rest of you will wonder for a very long time). Much of the style of Rust is similar in many ways to the style of Haskell. In some sense Rust is a reincarnation of Haskell, with a little bit of C-ish like syntax, a very small amount.

Is Haskell dead?

What Hiring Should Look Like

This is definitely not the first time I've written about this topic, but I haven't written formally about it in quite awhile. So I want to revisit why I think technical-position interviewing is so poorly designed, and lay out what I think would be a better process.

I'm just one guy, with a bunch of strong opinions and a bunch of flaws. So take these suggestions with a grain of salt. I'm sure there's a lot of talented, passionate folks with other thoughts, and some are probably a lot more interesting and useful than my own.

But at the same time, I hope you'll set aside the assumptions and status quo of how interviewing is always done. Just because you were hired a certain way, and even if you liked it, doesn't mean that it's a good interview process to repeat.

If you're happy with the way technical interviewing currently works at your company, fine. Just stop, don't read any further. I'm not going to spend any effort trying to convince you otherwise.

Friendly Programming Communities

It's important that you connect with a community for something you want to learn, because it will help ease the learning process.

Discord

Discord is my preferred method of chatting. It's a good app, a lot of people use it. It's like the new Skype.

The Handmade Network - Very talented people... let 'em know you're a newbie and you want guidance.
Game Dev League - A community of hobbyist game developers.
The Shebang - A smaller community of software developers. I used to co-own it. Drop me an @ ... I'm Code Messiah.
