  • It’s kinda serious, but definitely also a meme. Basically, Rust is the safest mainstream language out there (unlike languages like C or C++, which are full of foot guns, or things like JavaScript or Python, which aren’t even strongly typed), so there’s a strong desire to rewrite things in just because you often don’t encounter stupid bugs in Rust code - the compiler won’t let you write it. There are safer languages out there, but they’re highly impractical for general purposes and are used for insanely mission critical shit (e.g. pacemakers).

    I’d give this a quick watch: https://youtu.be/voRBS0r4EyI





  • Hey, not to discourage you at all, but from what I can tell most viewers are a bit bored by watching episodic Factorio videos. I would recommend creating longer-form videos that encompass your entire challenge rather than an entire series of it. It’s a lot less video output for the effort you put in, but you have the advantage of being able to narrate the entire challenge as a story. If you want some good examples of this, check out Dosh Doshington’s content. He doesn’t post too often, but when he does it always does well.
