Oh yea, forgot to share yesterday, but I have been learning Rust!

You would not believe the lengths I will go to avoid using C++, including for things that are explicitly supposed to be done in C++

thinking abt that scene in the bar in 95 when Marty's whining about Maggie and Rust's giving him the whole "this is a bar not a bedside" speech and Marty says something like "but I'm a friend in need" and just for a sec Rust's face goes like🥺🥺 bc Marty called him his friend.............. what if I die right here

the problem with having learned rust a few years ago is that now i only want to use rust for projects and all of my impressive projects are in rust and i don't have much to demonstrate that i know other languages lol

The noises I make and the thoughts I have when I think of these two are not sth I’m gonna acknowledge but. BUT. I CAN’T AND MAY NEVER TAKE THEM OUT OF MY ROTTEN AND OBSESSED LITTLE MIND 🥹🎀

Observation of the day: I'm starting to think that a big reason for my lack of progress on my hobby projects is that I just hate writing code in Rust. It's actually a meaningful threat to any of my big aspirations getting done. Maybe it would be different with a paycheck, but as something done in my free time out of love, I'm not sure I can sustain productivity in a language that makes such large semantic mountains out of such small functional molehills.

I have spent basically all day working on a filesystem iterator that doesn't buffer the whole result in memory, and has a predicate to allow "gitignore"-like functionality. It still doesn't work, and has just reminded me why I gave up last time and just buffered it all in a Vec. This is not a day's worth of features. I could write this as a Python generator in like 15 minutes.

So now I'm having to weigh the sunk cost of everything I've written already, vs really wanting to make a New Year's Resolution where I don't spend my precious hours on this earth on any language where the norm is fighting hard (or giving up) implementing basic behavior.

wowowowow making a programming language is really really fun, i’ve got enough planned so far to begin actually implementing the basics, and i’m so excited to actually start writing code in it! (well, functioning code that is, i’ve already written some code for example)

anyways, i’ve got a question. my language is a bit complicated, and i’m not very familiar with some of the libraries i’m using (Chumsky, which i’m a bit familiar with, and Ariadne, which i’ve never used at all). should i try and implement a simpler language first to get more familiar with them, or just jump straight into implementing my real language?

Rust Cohle had my attention when he dropped the ‘I don’t have the constitution for suicide’ line but I have to say his most compelling trait so far has been that haphazard stack of nonfiction books on being a detective but not knowing about The King in Yellow. whatever is going on here is sparkling
