I'd be curious to see a comparison against some other LLMs. https://lmarena.ai/ might be useful for this.

I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

I think that's been asked before. That'd be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don't think Rust does (yet).

A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you're not using Kotlin, you're probably using Java for Android dev.

He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more "kooky" libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it's hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had...

If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a "catalog" of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.

I saw some folks posting that they were doing Lemmy instances with cheap Vultr instances. Are you using something similar? And how's the bandwidth going with peering to other nodes? I've toyed around with the idea of starting my own node.
