Rust is a systems programming language that emphasizes safety, performance, and concurrency. It was designed to provide a reliable alternative to C and C++ for systems-level programming, while avoiding common pitfalls such as null and dangling pointers. Rust achieves memory safety through a sophisticated ownership and borrowing system, which enables developers to write fast, low-level code without sacrificing safety or expressiveness. Rust’s design also incorporates functional programming concepts, making it a versatile language for a wide range of applications. Overall, Rust is a modern, powerful, and secure language that is gaining popularity among developers for its speed, safety, and ease of use.
Introduction I needed a custom solution for loading a native node module in my nextjs project. The module was published with neon-bindings, and none of the below solutions worked for me: It’s not an issue in any of the loaders, or nextjs framework, I just needed to create a custom Read more…
Slugify is an url slug generator, and slug is a part of the URI between 2 slashes: Usually, slugs are made from alphanumeric characters and dash. I rarely see an underscore in URL, but not because it’s forbidden, just that most of us somehow agreed that [a-z0-9\-]+ is best to Read more…
I know how to write macro, what it’s useful for, but can’t seem to define it well when people ask me. Rust book defines it as a way of writing code that writes other code, known as metaprogramming. In Java you would write an annotation and annotation processor, in Scala Read more…
I wanted to try creating a desktop app with Rust, and found out there’s Tauri and Yew. Both look cool! Since there was no official documentation on how to configure a Tauri/Yew project, I wanted to post instructions for Linux users. I did run into some specific problems like: My Read more…
At the time of writing this, I couldn’t find any useful examples for mocking an actix actor. Google and Github code search were useless. Turns out I had to study the code on how to do it: https://github.com/actix/actix/blob/6c5c25da7a77cc9b372c28352a69a64f7f05231e/src/actors/mocker.rs This part: //! Mocking is intended to be achieved by using a Read more…
