I figured I should do a proper intro for anyone seeing me for the 1st time here:
Hi I'm David! I'm a software engineer in a global consultancy firm currently using Typescript for work.
I started with C++ many years ago, learnt many languages since then, and recently discovered Rust!
Say hi! :D

I might be in the look out for a new mechanical keyboard.
Any recommendations?

Haven't been that active here for the past few days as I'm overseas at the moment for a family vacation.
But what's this I'm hearing about Microsoft attempting to use A.I to replace some c++ codebase with Rust?

Sometimes I look back at life and at the decisions I have made.
Some were great but some were horrible.
I have learnt to trust my instincts better now. I believe that my instincts are an accumulation of my experiences.
So I'm gonna trust my instinct and build more things in Rust moving forward 😆

I saw a guy sitting alone on his chair,
Typing on his mechanical keyboard,
Writing Rust without any A.I,
And building a serial motor driver like a mad man.
That man is me
😂

All the Rust / #rustlang haters ignoring the context and facts here lol
It's the additional communication bridge/interop between JS and Rust that adds the latency, not the language itself 😂
Also the video's title is so wrong and bait-y

If you're like me where I'm currently exploring #rustlang for robotics stuff,
save yourself the headache and use r2r instead of ros2_rust.
While r2r does have a longer compile time, you don't have to use colcon build and can just rely on cargo 😂

As much as I love Rust, I feel that the current ecosystem for it in regards to Robotics (i.e ROS2) needs a lot of improvement.
I have been trying to create a node in #rustlang that uses std_msgs and it's giving me headaches lol
