Nice. I'm not sure if programming helps or just makes you forget the world around you. But it sometimes helps clear the mind and/or distracts from other issues. I managed to pick up the book "The Rust Programming Language" today. Something I had planned to do for a long time. Take care.

Cool! I learned myself some basic Rust last year, I loved how they do memory management.

Hehe. I'm currently at chapter 3... ๐Ÿ™ƒ But so far i like everything. It's really refreshing to create a new project and it's nearly without boilerplate code, lengthy project files to do set up generic stuff etc. They seem to use tools that make it easy and don't get in the way of more advanced people, they even suggest git, coding conventions and so on. I'm stoked. I can't wait to learn memory management and what legacy ballast they threw overbord. I often use C or C++ so this should be a nice 'upgrade'.
