Too many key libraries are on version 0.X with an unstable API

Sounds like my rust experience but then again it'd be non-existing for some of them.

There’s a short I saw mentioned level 7 spells getting pretty crazy and the rule set makes it hard to accommodate.

Not really knowledgeable about DND but some YouTube short popped up and I clicked on it 🤠

It’s the usual if err != nil return err critique.

If you could yoink the question mark operator from rust AND support sum types that would be the dream.

The marshaling isn’t too bad unless you need to do more specific things. I vastly prefer how rust’s serde does it but that language is the forbidden fruit

Yeah it’s pretty crazy how fast you can get going in go. As long as you are aware of a pointer you are mostly good to go.

Just wish it felt better 😫

I’m surprised no one has mentioned golang. We have the usual dichotomy of java and rust but there’s a very very good option for those who are worried about rust adoption.

I vastly prefer writing rust code but go on its own gets you very very similar performance at the cost of developer experience. I think sum types are the #1 requested feature so once that comes I’ll be a much happier boy.

I just finished the first 3 in the series and they were pretty fun. Lead me to reading war breaker and now starting stormlight archive

Hope you enjoy!!

This is a great read.

I would bring up something like this in some of my junior interviews from being self taught. I would call it “unknown unknowns” but never made the jump to Domain knowledge which I’ve heard now

I started on a media thingy like sonarr if you’re in the self hosted world.

I’ve only wrote application code so I’m using this to grok life times and some of the more deep topics rust offers.
