Another thing that's really shattering my worldview about the time spent writing Rust lately is that, ultimately uh... Turns out Result types are MUCH nicer than Exception driven stuff, in practice. it's so crazily better, honestly. Just bap a nice match based dispatch and you can even do it on […]

Well, hot damn. It's the world's shittiest REPL but the entire pipeline from event to objects through a text renderer for the view data works. We're getting closer to something that works like a MUD/MUCK would, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm picking […] [Original post on untrusted.website]

Still discovering fun Rust things. My current obsession is how you can have an enum with multiple choices and then write a parser and tokenizer that matches on it, and impl FromStr on it. Then you just assign "a string".parse() to a variable of your enum's type and it automatically uses the […]

I'm SLOWLY getting to the parts of Rust that make me go "Oh that's real fuckin' neato, actually", which feels nice. Trying to make something inconsequential that I am in no way prepared to do in it to learn was the right call.

I've been picking up Rust again, thinking "I should make a MUD server as a learning project". I'm already having regrets in terms of scope, and a bunch of non-obvious shit still bothers me about the language (fully due to my own inadequacies or lack of understanding of some fundamental things) […]

[Parent health] So my Dad passed away at the hospital, and I'm mainly at peace with that. He would not have enjoyed the After, had that not happened. So I'm kind of sorting out how to feel about all of that. I think I'm realizing I maybe had already slowly started mourning the man my dad was […]
