#rocket_rs — Public Fediverse posts

Had an interesting Flashback as looking at use of #Macros in #Rocket_rs in #RustLang
One of my favourite historical programming achievements was a highly optimised ListBox in #DataFlex 2 written as a "Macro" (new command). Each extra instance reused the vast majority of code because we got close to limits.
This was for MsDos systems with 80 characters x 25 lines.
This was with the United Bible Societies in (I think) late 80's early 90's.

Should have been #Yew in the previous post (I'll edit because I can)

#Axum looks cleaner than #Rocket_rs (less reliance on Macros which are a bit too "magic" for me), and close ties to #Tokio are good.
I'm finding the "Brooks Builds" channel on #YouTube very useful. Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrmY5pVcnuE-_CP7XZ_44HN-mDrLQV4nS

Going to be a lot to learn about #Async as well as everything else. Wasn't really an issue when coding for 80486 processors which was about as far as we got when I was professionally coding ;-)
