Hey #python devs 👋🏼 I’m trying to remember a recently developed language based on python but statically typed geared towards performance and data science. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

Question for R devs: whats it like developing R packages that uses Rust under the hood? I haven’t look at it in a while. Learning a lot of Rust rn and would like to explore that! 👀 #rstats #rustlang

Being able to open a local doc site for the dependencies of your Rust project with `cargo doc --open` 👨🏻‍🍳 😘 #rust #learningrust

I need to skeet this. I'm loving the pattern matching feature in Rust. It's cool you can `match` on multiple things like this. #rust #learningrust

I love Valheim, never was much into survival games before this. I accidentally perished while chopping down a tree, it fell on me lol.

I think I post about this yearly: one of the best superpowers when collaborating is the ability to create a crappy first draft for people to react to. It requires a mix of vulnerability and not caring.

So far, my favorite part about Rust is Cargo. Might be one of the best package managers I've used. Any new language should seriously consider having a standard building/packaging/running tool from the get-go. Don't do what Python did. #rust

Nothing like good ice cream in winter in NC when it’s 60s, first time at Goodberry’s. Got the Truffle Sundae: Vanilla frozen custard topped with hot fudge caramel and toasted Stuart pecan pieces. ❄️ 🍨

Feeling giddy starting a new music coding project that interacts with Spotify API using Rust for backend and Vue for frontend. To boot, I'm going to get back to some data stuff using polars using Rust directly (if that proves difficult, the Python package lol) 🤓

I wonder whether literate programming as a way to try out code + add my notes is a much better way than random source files with superficial comments. Anyone try crates.io/crates/verso? Or other lit programming w Rust?

Resuming my learning of Rust and glancing at my "rusty" repo going through the online book I've realized it's very tough to recollect my learnings without redoing them. Anyone have tips on note-taking while learning a lang (or rly any tech) via books?

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Proud of this one too even tho it came out wonky, I think the wiggles/asymmetries makes it realistic though. 😅 #latteart

People will literally create a new and unimproved way to use YAML instead of going to therapy.

Love simple but useful tools like this
Day 2 of porting my favorite RStudio addons to Positron. Introducing Formalist, an extension that allows you to make R function calls explicit, i.e., from select(mtcars, cyl) → dplyr::select(mtcars, cyl). It uses {pedant} #rstats 📦 by @wurli in the background!

My most recent latte art I’m proud of. Gaggia has been an amazing machine thus far. #coffee #latteart

First post: howdy! It's been a while since I've been online socially and I've missed it. I will probably be sharing a lot of coding stuff here.
