YouTube needs a thumb that says "this content is perfectly fine but it's not something I'm interested in". The "Dislike" thumb can mean that, but it can also mean "this video is bad." What I'm saying is, my thumbs have nuance

When I first started playing with Rust, I figured it would be a fun language to learn, and then I'd move on. But now, when I write C (for my day job) I keep thinking "this would be so much easier/better in Rust". Didn't expect that after 20+ years of C tbh

Streamed today about porting Crafting Interpreters to Rust, and got stuck right at the end. Of course, I figured out what my problem was as soon as I wasn't under the stress of streaming. D'oh!

No stream today unfortunately. Next week I’ll switch back to the Crafting Interpreters book and start working on the “bytecode” version of Lox
