I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

Struggling a little with this too. The distance of time is my biggest grief: it’s hard to apply for jobs, when my most relative experience for various roles is 5-10 years old. And the further along in my career, the less there is to show, or people to speak up for what I accomplished. “Did I really do that, at all”… worst case of imposter syndrome I can think of.

I think that’s been asked before. That’d be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don’t think Rust does (yet).

A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you’re not using Kotlin, you’re probably using Java for Android dev.

He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more “kooky” libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it’s hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had…

If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a “catalog” of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.
