Hello!

Thanks! Saving for future as I start my Rust journey.

Starting my Rust journey! I will be using the #Rust book as a start and will also like to work on #OpenSource Rust tooling project along the way. What project(s) do you all recommend?

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

Less jokingly, one thing I find fascinating about reading histories of coding & various successive best practices advice paradigms is how computer science is like maybe the quintessential case of a field trying to study itself even as it's inventing itself *at the same time*
