Real question for the techies, is Rust worth hacking around with? It’s just “C++ - Director’s Cut” right?
Not sure exactly what you mean, but Rust is a pleasure to use and it'll change the way you think about coding (even in other languages). It's worth giving it a shot.
Well. That sounds convincing enough to me. I'll check out the official site and create my typical test of a language, creating a basic dice rolling console program.
Good luck! That's a really good starter project because you'll need to use a separate crate for RNG, so it'll teach you how to use Cargo and set up properly. I can't recommend using the Rust book enough, the first 2 chapters should suffice for your test.
