No, not Rust the video game. Rust is a programming language similar to C++ but can guarantee memory safety such as buffer overflows. Memory safety is a way to protect from various software bugs and security vulnerabilities when dealing with memory access.

It is a type language which is handy. This way you get errors while programming if something is not of the same type or when a function would not be able to execute in a certain scenario. This is something what JavaScript doesn't have, with the exception of the TypeScript framework.

Learning Rust

It's also my first time using a type language properly so that is why I don't dive into the NFT generator directly but started to make solve some problems using Rust. With Advent of Code there is some competition bound to this process, friends and I decided to pick up a new programming language and battle it out on the leaderboards. I try to post my solutions on a daily basis to Github.
