What to learn after Go? Why not Rust🦀? I tried learning it in the past while using Go and found the syntax too opaque and complicated, but still, it was itching.

While working on a project at work, dealing with drone and airplane data, I decided to give Rust a try. And I was enlightened.

More seriously, after you try to dwell deeper into it and understand why some things are indeed complicated, you finally get it. And you see that complicated concepts do require sometimes complicated syntax.

So I have become what we call a Rustacean. A Rust aficionado, an enthusiast. Not a “lets rewrite the world in Rust”, but really close, as it would solve many of the problems we face, especially in the context of safety and security.

So I did rewrite a few of my own stuff in Rust, like RIPE Atlas, of course Leftpad and my old crypto stuff.

And our friend at Jetbrains have a version of the Intellij IDE for Rust: RustRover.
