“The simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.” — Jarrett Fuller

I keep looking at rust and thinking "Gods it seems to be an awesome language"... Then I read and hear about a lot of hassels moving from C or C++ to rust and never really any massive success stories... are the massive success stories out there? #rustlang#development
@looopTools#Firefox is a massive success story for Rust. After multiple attempts to write a multi threaded style engine in C++, and getting completely destroyed by data races on each attempt, #Mozilla funded Rust #development, and then used it to write a high performance multi threaded styling engine (#Stylo) with no crashes or data races on basically the first attempt.

As fun as it can be to learn a language, just learning it with no context makes it harder to keep my interest. Add some context, however, and bam!
Human: reading new toy's instructions in a different language, visiting a foreign country and ordering food, following along in a conversation on #Duolingo, etc.
Computer: fiddling with someone's open source project that is in a language you don't know, doing a code jam for a particular framework/language, etc.
