Complete with Light mode, Dark mode, and new, more accessible pricing that reflects the future of the project.

Will this eventually turn into a workshop? Well maybe. It depends mostly on how much subscribers want it to.

I *definitely* think a rust-forward series would be useful and it could be a good intro to some of Bevy's underlying crates (glam, wgpu, etc).

I spent the last 6 months rewriting all of the infrastructure for @rustadventure in, well, Rust.

The biggest question for me was whether or not Rust could handle the last holdout: web UI.

Whenever @nnethercote shares his work, I sit up straight and study it like a university student.

> (I’m a better programmer today than I was in 2002)

I was still in primary school 😂, I flew to New Zealand the year after.

Why you have to write function signatures on Rust functions instead of letting the types be inferred

i've cut a smaller-than-planned cargo-dist 0.0.4 to unblock people who wanted arm64 macos support

also makes the installers understand that arm64 windows also has rosetta-style emulation, so x64 binaries can be used if no native ones are available

Finally, we can clone our data, copying it into the function. We still have access to the old data, and the function we called has a copy of the data that it owns.

[RustAdventure @rustadventure]

Ownership in Rust means that only one variable owns a piece of data at any given time.

[RustAdventure @rustadventure]

Instead of moving, we can share access to data through references. A shared reference allows many functions to read the data, even though my_stuff still owns it.

[RustAdventure @rustadventure]

If we put all of that together, we can use structs and enums to represent different parts of our data in different ways.

Check it out on the Rust Playground:

[RustAdventure @rustadventure]

Structs and Enums are the main ways to define types in Rust.

[RustAdventure @rustadventure]

An enum can also carry data, although because each variant is its own definition, we'd have to re-type the name field to each Animal we'd want to have a name.
