Need help deciding which route is best for me to take as a novice programmer

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Godot

    Godot Engine โ€“ Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  • All else being equal, I agree, but if you want to code a game, you might keep up more enthusiasm if you're using the Unity-like Godot game engine and its Python-inspired GDScript, while, if you're enthusiastic about web development, JavaScript might be better at keeping you hyped up and raring to practice more. Likewise, if you're modding a game that uses Lua for its internal scripting, Luna might serve that role.

  • miniserve

    ๐ŸŒŸ For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

  • A Django ecosystem (all my web apps more complex than something like miniserve use Python on the server side.)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • swaystatus

    A minimal executable for displaying sway status per second

  • I literally spent a lot of time refactoring it into C++ with proper OOP diagram and uses virtual base to simplify storing and calling them. I would never ever start doing these App level programming with C, because I found that the mindset of C basically ainโ€™t good for app development and it lacks good libraries for these, too.
