Why Rust?
Memory safety without garbage collection. Performance without pain.
The Learning Curve
Steep. The borrow checker will humble you.
Resources That Helped
- The Rust Book (official docs)
- Rustlings exercises
- Building real projects
- Reading others' code
What I Learned
- Ownership model takes time but makes sense
- Compiler errors are your friend
- Community is incredibly helpful
- No going back to manual memory management
Current Status
Rust is now my go-to for systems programming. Java for business logic.
Keep learning. Stay relevant.
