As ever it's hard to know what things to focus on in my limited time... I've got it boiled down at present to refreshing myself on Python and C++ whilst learning some Rust... with the goal of hopefully being able to prove my employability.

Zef HemelI'm going to make make Rust my first AI-only language. I learned some <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> but have never built anything significant with it BY HAND. I intend to keep it that way, and apply CHOP (CHat Oriented Programming as coined by Steve Yegge) only with anything I produce in Rust.We had a discussion today about the future of programming languages with LLMs becoming good.Do we need "AI Native" languages and what would they look like? My intuition would be that Rust is actually is a good fit, for a few reasons:1. Safety 2. Performance 3. Easy to read, but hard to write. And if the LLM does the writing, that's actually not a problem. 4. Very strongly typed, which I think benefits LLMs a lot because it gives itself a very quick feedback loop — if it compiles, it's probably correct.I've spent the better part of the day with Claud Code writing a program that otherwise I would probably have hacked in TypeScript or Python. Instead, I had Claude Code generate Rust code and it went really well. The result feels very robust, and it is fast.Although I don't know Rust intimately, I do assume general programming principles apply like in any other language. I can read the code the LLM writes and to challenge it with general engineering practices. On many occasions have I asked it to write tests, refactor the code, take a completely different implementation approach. I may not know the subtleties of Rust as a language, but I'm not sure that it matters.And picking a language I can't easily write myself has proven to be a very effective strategy to fight the urge to step in and do it myself.

Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian:<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> is moving away from GNU coreutils to Rust-based uutils coreutils with Ubuntu 25.10. There are two big differences with this move:1. uutils coreutils is MIT licensed, not GPL. 2. Obviously, it's written in Rust, a memory-safe compiled language, unlike C.IMO, this is a good move.<a href="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-oxidising-ubuntu/56995" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-oxidising-ubuntu/56995</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnu</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a>

YvanDidn't realise what sort of pain I was setting myself up for diving into learning <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> with an embedded no::std environment. 😅 Just trying to work out an equivalent for using say snprintf to format data into a stack allocated "string" (a "str" not a "String") has been a total pain in the arse. I have maybe missed some obvious solution to this, i.e. simply turning a u16 into a string, but have ended up using a package to achieve it. Namely the 'numtoa' crate. Though still not got it working as a str... seem to be homing in on it though.

Esteban Küber :rust:It wasn't until just now where the disconnect I have in perception about the RiiR meme might be coming from: I see orders of magnitude more people complaining about "Rust people pushing Rust" than the people being complained about, but it could be that they count *any* mention of Rust as "pushing" it. A question of "why not rust?" can be read as "What are the technical and social considerations that made Rust not suitable for this project?" or as "Why didn't you use the best thing since sliced bread?

YvanRIGHT. Fucksake! Arghhh...I have a solution to this, I do not like my solution to this, but it is a solution...I reverted my project to use <code>embassy</code> from GitHub again.I have then grabbed <code>picoserve</code> from GitHub and I have edited the relevant <code>Cargo.toml</code> to use the <code>embassy</code> packages from GitHub.An in my project <code>Cargo.toml</code> I have referenced my downloaded and modified <code>picoserve</code> instead of using Crates.io... because no matter what I try I cannot make this work using Crates.io packages.I have now successfully compiled the project modified to use <code>picoserve</code>, loaded it onto the <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/PicoW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PicoW</a>, and it runs and serves a "Hello World" via HTTP.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Embassy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Embassy</a>
