Write rust code without english

Rishit Khandelwal — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 14:35:09 +0000

You reading the title, might be wondering HOW CAN YOU CODE WITHOUT ENGLISH???? you might think that i could have forked rust and changed the compiler to accept other keywords, but no.

Rust, being a very awesome language, has a nice handy feature called Procedural macros, with which we can parse code at compile time the way we want. And the other day I came across the Rouille, and then i wondered, "hmmm which language i know which i can use to make something like this?", and then i thought lets make a hindi version of this (because i didnt know any other language). But understanding proc_macros and all wasnt something i wanted to do just yet without having the fun of writing some code in hindi.

Step 1: Remove french words to be replaced with hindi words ->

(Yes i know that we are pretty light on the vocab, but making PRs wont hurt, please)

Step 2: Changing the readme.

THE HARDEST PART OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
Tho i managed to drag myself through it. And ended up with a semi-ripped off README :/

Step 3: Trying to get people to try this (this part failed miserably).

I sent my dev friends the repo to try out....
they ignored me.... 😥

Conclusion

If you find this cool go star Rouille and Zung and make PRs to add more words to the zung vocab.

what you could do with rust

Rust is a language which reaches into almost all corners in the world of development, whether it is super fast server-side execution, or near native performance in browsers with webassembly, or game development, or making cli tools, or almost anything you could imagine.

For servers, there are very fast, async frameworks like actix or rocket, with a very easy to use api for a compiled language.
Example:

#[get("/")]
fn index() -> &'static str {
  "Hello Rocket!"
}

...

There are crates like web-sys and js-sys to enable you to use web apis in your to-be webassembly code, and amazing tools like wasm-pack to make compiling and using webassembly much easier :)

And rust has a great amount of targets already to whom you can compile your code to :) and many rust crates are available which hide away the platform specific details from you, so you can just focus on what you're making.

Rust tooling is pretty awesome.
rustup to manage rust compiler, components, targets, etc.
cargo to use and publish crates, and hide away the mess of compiling and linking and running the code.
and much more depending on your project.
And specially rust-analyzer (a lsp for rust), which makes programming in rust a lot easier.

whats the worst program you can make for squaring a number.

Rishit Khandelwal — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 04:48:24 +0000

Try making a ultimate slow program to square a number, or share a program you have made previously.
The slower the better.
But each iteration should do something, dont loop for ever and then print the square like this:

function square(x) {
  while(true) {}
  console.log(x*x)
}

Ok, now comment your slow program in the comments ;)

Setting up rust

Rust

A short description of rust from wikipedia:

Rust can be used for a variety of applications like networking, game dev, or anything else, on the web (using webassembly), embedded systems, etc.

Setting it up (Unix-like OSes)

Installing rust is very easy. It uses toolchain management tool called rustup.

Just run this command to install rust:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After following the setups it provides, it most likely added rust in your PATH environment variable. Refresh the current terminal environment, and run rustc --version, if it fails, then try adding ~/.cargo/bin to your path manually.

Keeping Rust updated

Just run rustup update once in a while to be up to date.

How can a decentralised network actually be built?

Rishit Khandelwal — Sat, 24 Apr 2021 07:59:32 +0000

I have tried building small programs which are "decentralised" program, but it always failed because it required something or the other which i couldnt implement, (some weird stuff, i still dont undestand).
If you have ever made a decentralised program please comment below and explain it to me :)

What are your thoughts on rust?

Rishit Khandelwal — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 17:13:43 +0000

I personally like rust because of its focus on safety and those helpful compiler hints when you do something wrong.

Comment your thoughts belowy.

Deno

Rishit Khandelwal — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 04:53:01 +0000

I have tried using deno for many of the typescript/javascript projects I have done recently. A discord bot, many backend for server side, and tried to run react on one of them.

I found http servers in deno to slower to start with approximately 4s delay on startup.

But the actual dev experience, ahh that was so much more light then node, that I didn't get the feeling of doing a project.

If you haven't tried deno yet, you must give it a try.

It is exceptionally helpful if you use typescript in your workflow.

And the addition of built in tools like a bundler and file watcher makes life easier.

And biggest feature being security, no implicit access.

Try deno today! Goto deno.land

How to automount disk drive

Rishit Khandelwal — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 10:09:42 +0000

Ok, so I have got a secondary 512gb hdd along with my primary ssd.

I can mount my drive like this: sudo mount /dev/sdb5 ~/bigdisk.
But how can I make it so that it happens automatically when I login/start the computer?

Happy New year!

I am a bit late though :/

docker?

Rishit Khandelwal — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 13:50:43 +0000

ok, since kubernetes deprecated docker, does it mean docker will fade into irrelevance eventually, and it is the time to switch to other tools like containerd?
