So lately I gave up on learning Golang for several reasons, which doesn’t make any sense, really. The language is excellent for beginners like me, and it has a really nice community and all, but I really couldn’t develop a taste for it. I felt like it was way too limited for someone like me, and the fact that I will eventually need to master a different language alongside it wasn’t really that exciting for me. Don’t get me wrong, the language is powerful, and you can do a whole lot with it, from CLI applications to web applications, but still, compared to something like Rust, Golang really doesn’t stand a chance, in my opinion at least. Therefore, I decided to leave the Go world for good and get down to some serious business with Rust. Do I have a good plan? Definitely not, not even a bad one. Am I ready for such a painful journey? I’m most certainly not. Just setting up the Rust analyzer in Neovim was such a huge pain in the ass. I have no damn idea what I’m doing wrong, but that shit is slow af. I really have to wait for it to load whenever I open Neovim, AND EVEN WHEN IT DOES LOAD, IT IS SO FUCKING LAGGY, LIKE WTF IS UP WITH THAT????
Anyway… this time I kinda have a goal that I really hope to achieve. I want to write a CLI file manager in Rust, like lf, the one written in Go. I know this may be the craziest project I can ever come up with. I mean, even if I somehow manage to get it to work, the only benefit I’ll get from such a project is posting my GitHub account… that’s all. It has nothing to do with back-end development, which is the whole point of this summer, which is almost over. I just can’t help it but feel like I’m not doing enough, and I’m wasting a lot of time lost in random YouTube tutorials not getting anything new from them. I feel like I could have used my time a lot better if I had some guidelines and followed the roadmaps I’ve been ignoring all the way here.
Enough about that, I just added a new repo to my GitLab for my dwm setup. There will be a custom wallpaper to fit with the gruvbox colors. I should probably add a readme with the links for the GTK theme and such, but meh, I’m way too lazy to do that today. Thank you so much if you made it all the way here, friend. Till we meet again, farewell!
