Honourable (personal) mention for code editors: Kate. It's developed by KDE, and is designed mainly for KDE Plasma, but it works on any other Linux wm/de, and also is available for macOS and Windows. To me it feels like a lightweight VSCode, complete with LSP support, Git management, and a Vi keybinds mode. In terms of third-party plugins it's a little dry, but vanilla Kate imo is jam-packed with functionality and customisation options, so tweaking it to your liking is possible, assuming you can navigate through the settings page with sanity intact :)

So something that’s nowadays probably much easier to find but when I needed it it was quite difficult is: WGPU. It’s a crate that abstracts over multiple graphics backends in a safe manner (in the future, one of the targets it will support will be WebGPU, which is a work in progress standard for using the GPU in the browser), it can build for Angle, OpenGL, DX12, Metal & Vulkan and has, as long as you use it in an intelligent manner, quite a low performance impact. If you need an even cheaper and unsafe graphics library, its hardware abstraction layer wgpu-hal, might be for you.

Clap now also has derive macros. This allows you to define a type to store program's CLI arguments in your code and just slap #[derive(clap::Parser)] on it. Arguably that is the best way to get arguments from command line and how it should have been done in the first place.

​@@oglothenerd I agree, they are better. However, how many apps have helix bindings? 1. (well, maybe 2-3 if you include that family of editors that helix is in) How many apps have vim bindings? Every single app I use (including my browser). The Zen of Python says, "Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules", and this applies ESPECIALLY for my muscle memory! 😀

Neovide looks nice, gonna try it out. I can also recommend Helix. It's a modal editor too, but more kakoune-like; also is trivial to set up & has better discoverability. And of course, the most important tool: cargo-mommy

I will work to fix this. I had a real problem in this video. the framework I'm using, advanced slides on obsidian, which uses reveal.js, and long examples. Short examples I can zoom in, but long ones had to be smaller font to stay inside whatever box reveal uses. You won't be the last to tell me about this problem, I expect. I will work on it!

Hi another great video! :) Recently I've started using vim + vscode but before that I already had mousless setup for Vscode so I did not expect to be much of improvement but it is! Next I think I will try one of your mentioned neovim "IDE";) PS you can configure Tauri to have Yew on frontend

I just started with rust after learning java and c# mostly java while recently c# but ohhh boiii rust just hits differently in a positive way :) it's certainly a harder language to get in due to borrow checker but when you have a good IDE with nice ppl on discord ready to help it just makes it less of a pain and more of an adventure ;)

Rust will be harder to learn the basics than those other two languages, keep watching my videos to get inspired, and once you're past the learning curve, you'll be in a much better position to write reliable code!

helix doesn't do it for me. I need my hotkeys to be unified across all my apps, and the maintainers of Helix are startlingly hostile to adding optional vim bindings. I understand there's a config file floating around that you can get some, but it's not quite right. To be clear, I agree that the way helix does it (kinda reverse vim) is better. But practicality beats purity every day of the week for me.

@@NoBoilerplate Also love the coverage of Obsidian - by far my favorite piece of software i'm using since discovering it. surely you already know this, but for people who don't: great performance, all files hosted locally and as text files, so not locked in to the software, and since it's just a local executable built from open source, there's no danger of a sellout ruining your tool. It's a great place to put effort into while being confident it's not gonna go to waste. This all on top of the great features it provides, which others may have too but with downsides.

Im curious how it handles computation. It’s not a language used in the field I want to get into - that being atmospheric science - but I think learning languages is a fun hobby and it gives me a new fun challenge of taking concepts from one language,and writing them in another.

Rusts maths system is very simple, in that, like C, it's is very close to the CPUs maths system: binary arithmetic with all of the float rounding and wrapping issues you would expect. However, it's incredibly fast. Indeed each operation compiles down to very low level code. I've not looked into it, but I believe it might be even just a single cpu operation. Built on top of that is the standard library's opt-in "checked" maths functions - safe operations that return results instead of wrapping or truncating. On top of THAT are crates for numerical computation, just search on crates.io. If your language starts with safe operations, you often can't get access to the fast maths. If you have low level maths, you can build safe abstractions. See my latest video for a toy example of how this works!

thx for video!

You should've mentioned GTK-rs. It's not pure Rust, but I'd argue it's the nicest and most fleshed out toolkit you'll find. Bonus points for glib since it allows you to write libraries in Rust and have them be usable in tons of other languages. It's really nice, and it has a whole ecosystem around it.
