Got this nice review for rustplatform.com 😍 If you want to take your Rust 🦀 + programming skills to the next level as a Pythonista, check it out; this platform is made for #Python people 🐍📈

I keep meeting #Python devs who *want* to learn #Rust but never start. So here's a nice challenge: 15 free Rust bites, one a day for the next 2 weeks. 🦀

@jhodapp start learning #Rust here rustplatform.com 🦀 💪

After experiencing more awesomeness with `match` in #rust (thanks @jhodapp) I cannot wait to see how far I can stretch it in #python 🦀 🐍

Chain map and filter, skipping based on condition, all in an elegant combinatorial style: Practice yourself: rustplatform.com/map-and-filter #rust #python

Drop duplicates in one call using `set`: #python

Most people learn Rust for performance. 🦀 And although that appealed to me too, it's actually the compiler + strictness that made me stay.

In Python, any code can set `obj.balance = -1000`; there's no enforcement. In Rust, struct fields are private by default. You choose which fields to expose, and the compiler enforces it. Practice this: rustplatform.com/visibility-rul… #python #rust

Good morning to all developers who know that AI is changing a lot of things, but software engineering is still software engineering belderbos.dev/blog/ai-doesnt… by @bbelderbos

Example:

None, the billion-dollar mistake ... A function can hand you `None`, and the developer needs to check it. The bug isn't the `None` per se. The bug is that the language lets you ignore it until it blows up at runtime. #Rust doesn't have `null`. 📈 A function that might not return a value returns `Option` (`Some(value)` or `None`) The compiler refuses to let you touch the inner value until you've handled both cases. Forgot the `None` arm? It won't compile. 😅 The whole class of "surprise None two layers deep" bugs is gone before you even run the program. And you don't have to write `match` everywhere either; combinators like `.map()` and `.unwrap_or()` chain the happy path cleanly. If you've ever been bitten by `AttributeError: 'NoneType'...` (probably all Pythonistas), try the exercise below; it might open your eyes to Rust's 🦀 safety aspects ...

Try it yourself: rustplatform.com/option-handling 🚀 💪

@charliermarsh Amazing, congrats!

Ruff was, effectively, my first open source project

I just completed "Vec Operations" on @pybites #Rust Platform 🦀🎉 rustplatform.com/vec-operations

An interesting thing is happening in Python land the last few years. Many developers are running Rust 🦀 every day. You might not realize it, but: - You run Ruff / uv / ty -> Rust - You use Polars or Pydantic -> Rust - You swap out pre-commit by Prek and/or use just -> Rust

Start here: rustplatform.com/track/unix/

Learn Rust concepts in a more fun way, going from concepts you already know. 💡

New exercise track 🎉 #unix classics: wc, head, grep, cut, sort, sed ... up to a top_words capstone: `tr -s ' ' '\n' < file | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head` Taught from #Python. 🐍 You rebuild them in #Rust. 🦀

I just completed "Re-exports and API Design" on @pybites #Rust Platform 🦀🎉 rustplatform.com/reexports-and-…

I really like #Rust's Result type 🦀
