I've written a lot of #rust lately: https://sr.ht/~mort/coffeepaste/
It's really good. It feels like a language with all the best ideas of modern C++, but where the language features were designed instead of discovered. Writing Rust feels a lot like writing best-practice C++, in a language designed from the ground up to look like best-practice C++.
I sincerely hope they'll make it an international standard eventually though, once it slows down and is ready to ossify a bit.

Find out how you can leverage command history into more efficient system administration. Maybe 'history' could be one of the more underrated #Linux commands.🤔
