Above all, don't be afraid to ask for help. Ask questions on /r/learnrust. Check out Awesome Rust Mentors and see if it's something you'd be interested in. Find a local user group or Uni or whatever that has experienced Rust programmers and try to make friends there. You're at the stage where asking questions is often the fast path.

The API guidelines will help you write nice APIs. Clippy will usually at least find some things, try running with -Wclippy::pedantic for a lot more messages. Also you can ask mentors for specific guidance. Hope that helps.

You really need to find a mentor for this project. May I suggest Awesome Rust Mentors https://rustbeginners.github.io/awesome-rust-mentors/ ?

Maybe try https://rustbeginners.github.io/awesome-rust-mentors/ ?

I'm a pretty highly motivated high school student and I've started doing projects and learning theory that would significantly benefit from mentorship to clarify things/answer obscure technical questions. Where can I look for someone that might be willing to help me out?

Shoutout to [rust mentors](https://github.com/RustBeginners/awesome-rust-mentors) for doing something similar but I'm looking for a more general site or social scene where people volunteer their time (ideally with an opportunity to give back and mentor someone else so I don't feel guilty)

Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...

Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.

Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
