#2I keep saving these Rust resources for a near future... Am i the only one??
I really hope to start using Rust in 2023, probably for some kind of API gateway experimentation

#3It'd be nicer if there was some way of selection which language is shown on the left side. Expecting readers to understand both C++ and Kotlin and Java and Javascript will be a stretch for most.

I thought there would be an option to select just one, but seems they are indeed just random smatterings of rust vs { Typescript, Javascript, Kotlin, Java, C, and C++ }

I saved up Common Lisp resources for a few years and in 2022 I finally decided to sit down and learn it. It was entirely worth it, so I recommend you sit down to learn Rust one weekend. In fact, do it next weekend. Getting started on anything is always better done sooner than later.

These features aren’t each supported by all those languages though. I also don’t think expecting a dev interested in Rust to understand several C-like languages is unreasonable, at least enough ti understand these straightforward example cases.

AFAICT, the expectation is that the reader knows at least one modern programming language from the list, and maybe is acquainted in passing with a couple of others. So at least some comparisons should click.
(They seemingly don't use more apt comparisons with OCaml and Haskell, for instance, not expecting the reader to know them.)

#8Nice blog post. Nonetheless, to a new learner like me, the hardest part of rust is not its syntax; it is the ownership management. Sometimes I easily know how to implement a task efficiently in other languages but I have to fight the compiler in rust. I either need to reorganize data structures, which takes effort, or to make a compromise by cloning objects, which affects performance. Note that I do agree with rust designers that it is better to make data dependencies explicit but learning to deal with them properly is nontrivial for me.

My experience with Java ended circa 2000 and I never wrote a single line in Kotlin. But I read these examples without noticeable issues.

Javascript I've seen a decent amount and tweaked/edited some of code in it but I wouldn't say I "know" it at all. Kotlin I've never even seen before and I know literally nothing about the language. Java I wrote a bit of in high school but haven't touched it in 15 years.
So yeah there's quite a lot that people wouldn't know.
