Learning Rust as a Python/Javascript developer by Juhis

Topic: Learning Rust as a Python/Javascript developer

I started learning Rust in December last year by building a command-line tool to display NHL results on the terminal. My background before Rust has been mostly on Python and Javascript ecosystems so there's been quite a learning curve that has required activating new parts of my brain.

In this talk, I'll share my early learning journey with Rust. I'll talk openly about the things I struggled with and the things I fell in love with in Rust (like pattern matching
Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes
).

For experienced Rust developers, I aim to provide new insights and ideas from a fresh perspective and for new developers, I aim to inspire others who are in a similar situation learning Rust.
