| 13:00.11 | blast007 | macsforme: and it won't necessarily run a web server in it's final form. this was just easier to start with for a mockup. |
| 13:01.38 | blast007 | I did manage to get database access to work last night |

| 15:41.53 | JeffM | is rust easy to work in? |
| 16:31.36 | blast007 | it's definitely a bit different than any other language I've used |
| 16:32.49 | blast007 | for instance, a lot of return values from things that can fail don't return the actual data directly, they return a enum that is either Some(YourType) or None(), so it forces you to explicitly handle error conditions |
| 16:32.49 | JeffM | well that's good |
| 16:32.51 | blast007 | yup |
| 16:33.41 | blast007 | and passing variables around is different as they, by default, get moved into the new context |
| 16:34.02 | blast007 | at least most types. things like numbers get copied, and I think String copies as well (but not str) |
| 16:34.14 | JeffM | what defines a context? like a function? |
| 16:34.20 | blast007 | yeah |
| 16:34.28 | JeffM | so it's like pass by ref? |
| 16:34.41 | blast007 | so passing a variable to a function means it's no longer available from where you called that function from (unless you pass by ref) |
| 16:34.51 | blast007 | and everything is immutable by default |
| 16:34.51 | JeffM | oh odd |
| 16:34.55 | JeffM | like it eats it |
| 16:34.58 | blast007 | yeah |
| 16:35.21 | blast007 | the error output is pretty good though, and it'll even find unused code paths for you |
| 16:35.39 | JeffM | yeah I get that in C# too |
| 16:35.51 | blast007 | think they have a built in fuzzer too, though I haven't tried that |
| 16:37.18 | blast007 | the documentation for a lot of the third party crates is pretty bare, though |
