#RUST LANGUAGE FULL#

Rust throws around some buzz words in its docs, but they are not just marketing buzz, they actually mean it with full sincerity and they actually matter a lot and are indeed the biggest selling points of Rust.

So here, I’ll touch upon some important high-level stuff that I didn’t mention in the previous post. Some of them even more so after using Rust full-fledged and gaining more experience in it. So I love everything I originally liked about Rust. If you haven’t read my previous post on the topic, I encourage you to read it for better context. I’ll try not to be biased as much as possible and wear my polyglot hat for comparisons.

#RUST LANGUAGE SOFTWARE#

Along the way, I’ll share my thoughts on why I think Rust is the future for general-purpose languages and how it is taking over the software engineering world. So now that I have set the context, I feel it’s time to revisit points from my first impression and see if they still hold true. After few weeks, I rarely get compiler errors for new code (also thanks to rust-analyzer) and I have started to polish existing code to make it better or to write better abstractions. But I started getting better at thinking in the Rust way and within a week I was having fewer compiler errors and Clippy warnings. I struggled the first few days to put together a basic structure and was constantly battling the compiler thanks to my habits from other languages I work with. While, I have implemented similar architectures in Go, Java, and JavaScript, doing it in Rust was quite challenging. I’ll write another blog with more details about the architecture choices and inspirations. I used channels to pass events across threads and the application state was shared using an ARC smart pointer and a Mutex lock. It’s fully event-driven, concurrent, and asynchronous with different threads to handle drawing of the UI, doing network requests, streaming logs, and running commands. With Rust, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about the speed part.

Kind of inspired by K9s, which is built with Go. So it’s a pretty UI on the terminal that shows different resource data and utilization metrics for Kubernetes clusters. Please try it out and provide me feedback also any contribution is welcome #rust #Kubernetes #oss /NYkQHQwBc2- Deepu K Sasidharan | ദീപു | தீபு | दीपू April 16, 2021 Introducing KDash - A simple terminal dashboard built with a WIP but here is an MVP I built over the last few weeks.
