Rust journey part 1
------------------------------
- I had to provide a fix for two public Rust repositories I forked so I could do my work at Talent.
- Now it’s in production and works flawlessly.
- Now, I want to learn more.
- I’ve started reading Programming Rust, 2nd Edition. — I’m currently at 41%.
- I’ve also decided to implement Advent of Code 2025 using Rust. You can see my progress here: https://github.com/pmatsinopoulos/advent_of_code_2025. I’ll be working on the challenges as part of my learning process. My strategy: I don’t use AI to solve the challenges. Once I solve them, I ask AI to polish my code and make it more Rust‑idiomatic. Today I solved Day 03.
- Journey will continue. I like the safety this language provides. It has a long, steep learning curve, but I like that too.
- At Talent we won’t use Rust to rewrite existing systems. We use it only for new work when it’s a good fit. As we have done so far.
- I’m not a Rust expert yet, but I will become very good.
