Here are four videos that go beyond the Rust book. Rust for dummies, part 1 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y6RKiIk6cs>, is a general overview of ownership and borrowing. Part 2 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y6RKiIk6cs&t=441s> claims that Rust's type system is superior to all others.
This second video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XFq9K7N9o4> claims that object-oriented design isn't idiomatic in Rust. The third video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5S2Ed5T-dc> covers the intersection of common rust types with deeper programming theory. I found it fascinating. The video also introduces expert-level patterns and terminology (like turbo fish) not found in the Rust book. This anti-rust video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iPWt1gvT_w> contains a contrarian view. From the (official) text summary: "There is something uniquely irritating about it's zealous and misleading marketing, wasted potential and gleeful disregard for the accumulated genius of decades of research. For all its obsession with security, rust's packaging and linking system end up creating more insecurity than it's limited model of safe memory can eliminate." I suspect that my mentor, Bob Fitzwater, would have held a similar skeptical view. *Summary* I am not qualified to judge the competing claims. But maybe it's time to look into Ocaml <https://ocaml.org/> :-) I doubt that Rust will affect Leo, but I might eventually change my mind. For sure, Leo's desktop version, written in Python, will remain the reference standard. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
