This is a common phrase I come across in Rust forums and IRC rooms. And I’ve got the taste of what it is after I finished porting hedge to Rust (called hedge-rs, obviously). Coming from C/C++/Go/Zig, working with Rust’s borrow checker needs some getting used to. But just to get the thing working, at least initially, I had to do some bits of circumvention, which feels like “dirty” tricks to me at the moment.

Last year, I explored the possibility of adding a complementary systems programming language to our stack. And I mentioned that I was leaning more into Zig as it resonates with me and my biases. Well, I spent a bit of my time last week porting spindle to Rust (called spindle-rs). This blog is me sharing some of my initial impressions. The first thing is, I quite like it. Which, for me, is a very important criteria.
