Beware! if you use Rust,you will have a talking borrow checker in your head that will make you better code in other langs

🦀 From Rust to Reality: The Hidden Journey of fetch_max

questdb.com/blog/rust-fe...

#rustlang

Quote from the article:

I was following along as he started typing, expecting to see either an explicit CAS loop or some functional wrapper around one. But instead, he just wrote:

high_score.fetch_max(new_score, Ordering::Relaxed);
"Rust has fetch_max built in," he explained casually, moving on to the next part of the problem.

Screenshot of the cargo-semver-check v0.44.0 release page.

It touts 22 new lints, for a total of 200 lints! In celebration, it includes an adorable animation of Ferris standing alongside a conveyor belt which transports crates off an assembly line. Each crate passes through a cargo-semver-checks scanning station, which applies a "PASS" or "FAIL" sticker to it. It seems like a crate has just failed SemVer checking! Ferris picks it off the conveyor belt, and throws it into a hopper labeled "Revise". This is how all crates being shipped uphold SemVer! All is well.

As someone who only really knows C++, Java & Lua (and not very well, mind you), I'd love some tips on how to learn Rust given my background.

There's no way I can do idiomatic Rust from the start ofc, but I'd appreciate some advice for a beginner like me.
