rust-learning VS RIIR

ctjhoa/rust-learning

Personally I like this one. It has little curation, so I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner, but it's a really great collection of awesome resources which a more experienced person can recommend entries from.

rust-learning (A broader listing that includes links to sites like Are we game yet? among other things)

Finally, there's also the Little Book of Rust Books where you could look for tutorial materials or things like like Rust Design Patterns, Rust API Guidelines, and The Rust Performance Book. (See also rust-learning)

If you want to learn Rust, here are a list of resources https://github.com/ctjhoa/rust-learning

The links in this git are a great place to start with Rust.

It was, imo, inflated by the comments pointing to the RiiR sentiments, not the comments to that effect itself. Even repositories 'collecting' such instances (e.g. https://github.com/ansuz/RIIR) are largely not collections of making anyone to change their own software but just projects that happen to be written in Rust. (these out-of-scope issues are not being tagged appropriately). Overhyped controversy by all sides.

Dunno what news you have missed but there's entire internet brigades dedicated sorely to spam projects with "rewrite it in rust". There's even a repo documenting this.

The OP post in the link references https://transitiontech.ca/random/RIIR (Rewrite it in Rust) as a meme.

Yes, one can hope, but I wouldn't bet on it and I wouldn't suggest to RIIR. I don't want to be that person that pops up uncalled for and asks to Rewrite It In Rust. One might think "Oh it is just one additional issue to the ~2.2k already opened mypy issues" if they have at all realized that there are that many open issues.

It's died down a bit now, but there is/was a non-trivial amount of stupidity from Rust advocates whenever someone ran into a memory problem with C/C++ to "re-write it in rust" or to just rewrite things in general. (IE https://transitiontech.ca/random/RIIR)

Or even better, RIIR the Windows kernel!

What is it with people asking for rust rewrites of Xorg this week? https://github.com/ansuz/RIIR/issues/83

The second language is Rust, and I went with that partly because rewriting C in Rust is a meme in itself, and in part because it was much easier to think of how to nicely fix that bug in Rust than it was in C (just add a = to the range to be end-inclusive).
