Learning Rust and Lemmy

231 readers

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.


Running Projects


Policies and Purposes

  1. This is a place to learn and work together.
  2. Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
  3. This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
  4. This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules

  1. Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
  2. Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
  3. Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
  4. See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
  5. Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

I think the fist meet up when well and covered some nice ground. Learning about the match statement for flow of control feels like a cool idea that I hope to experiment with more in my own learning projects.

Yep!

There'll be follow up posts for the reading club to happen here too ... coming shortly!

For me personally ... I started this community with a partly selfish motivation of starting a community that'd get me to learn rust (and contribute to the lemmy codebase too) more quickly.

And even though I didn't intend to actually code during the stream, but instead just listen in ... I found mysefl compelled to just pull up a file and punch in code and see what happens. If I hadn't started this community ... and you all joined and started running things ... I'd still be thinking ... "hmmm I should learn rust sometime". Now I'm already thinking about what I can do in the language! Nothing like getting together to get shit done!

Hope you post your learning projects!
