A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

My biggest issue with Rust (given that I've barely used it) is how it looks. This looks like somehow taking some of the worst C++ syntax (excluding macros) and adding even more ugly syntax.

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

I mainly tried it on WASM. The syntax to get interoperability between async JS and Rust functions was rough. I switched to tinygo, it was much easier to get it working. My coding velocity improved drastically after the switch. To be fair Go is a much simpler language and I'm familiar with it.

In this case Rust's perf advantage over tinygo wasn't enough for me to stick with it.

I really enjoy writing in rust and I probably use 20% of the language and 0% of my code resembles the code in your screenshot.

This seems purposefully made to look uglier. A few imports take out a lot of the noise. Its also very generic code. If you’re a library developer you will be much more exposed to gnarly types. If you are just building stuff its way nicer.

have you tried with comic sans for the IDE
