Journey into Rust
A Developer's Path Through Programming Languages
My Programming Journey
As a lifelong learner, my passion for programming languages has taken me on an exciting journey through various technologies and paradigms. Starting with Python, I've explored the fascinating world of functional programming through Erlang and Elixir, dabbled in the mathematical elegance of Haskell, and built production applications with Go.
My journey took an exciting turn when I discovered Rust. What caught my attention was an article about Rust's unique approach to memory management - specifically, its lack of a garbage collector and the innovative use of the borrow checker for memory efficiency.
The Learning Path
- Python - My programming foundation
- Erlang & Elixir - Exploring functional programming
- Haskell - Understanding pure functional concepts
- Go - Building production-ready web applications
- Rust - Current focus and passion
This Blog Project
While learning Rust through "the Book," I encountered new and challenging concepts. Rather than being discouraged, I decided to document my learning journey and share it with others. This led to the creation of this blog application.
Mission
Through this platform, I aim to share my experiences learning Rust, hoping to make the journey easier for others who are just starting. By documenting my challenges, discoveries, and solutions, I hope to contribute to the growing Rust community and help others overcome the learning curve that comes with this powerful systems programming language.
