Here's a treasure-trove of Rust books: https://lborb.github.io/book/
full disclosure: I wrote it.
mdbook seems to have decent carbon stats: https://www.websitecarbon.com/website/lborb-github-io-book/
For comparison, https://fosstodon.org/home produces about 3 times as much carbon, https://www.theguardian.com/uk about 10 times as much, and https://www.nytimes.com/ about 20 times as much.
@underlap I hadn't checked out Rust yet.
The concept is excellent, I love it.
I'm writing a tool in Python right now, and I was thinking of rewriting it in C++ later, but I'm going to use Rust.
Thanks for sharing!
@tyskdm Rust has an initial learning curve, sometimes charactertured as fighting the borrow checker, but worth the effort IMO.
@underlap I am in the automotive industry.
To avoid safety and security issues in C++, engineers are already fighting with an unmemorable amount of coding guidelines and standards.
Which is not the worst, I'll try it first for the future.
Thanks,
@underlap very useful.
I'm just starting with #mdBook with a non Rust book on @SustainableSailing
Really like mdBook and the toolchain so far. Although I hope that more will be done on the pdf and epub support (or maybe getting direct #PanDoc support?)
My book is rendered at https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/

@underlap can you share a link to this test?
@stfn Good idea. I edited the post to include the link. The calculator is at https://www.websitecarbon.com/ if you want to run it yourself.
@underlap Thanks!
