HN discussionI love using Rust in my toy projects (and wish my job was more open to anything but C++, but oh well). With its functional-style iterators, sum types and pattern matching, Rust lets me write code in a way that just feels natural. And the borrow checker stopped bothering me once I embraced reference-counted pointers for those cases where lifetimes are not obvious. Compilation time also hasn't been much of an issue on…

In any case, there's a very nice Emacs emulation mode in VSCode https://gith…
