Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?
I’m working on a simple and hackable static site generator, stagnant. I wanted a static site generator that utilized html for templates, so I built it myself to learn rust a bit better.

Did one of the legs Rust out?
I’m working through rust-exercises.com and taking notes on my thoughts. I may or may not want to use it for a short workshop at work - mostly for fun, since I work with a very different stack.
So far, I don’t know if I like the exercises, because the target audience doesn’t feel like it’s clearly defined: you both solve is_even with an if/else and overflow an i8 to -1. I don’t think I’ve met the person who is that inexperienced and that knowledgeable…
How are folks liking these exercises?
Never heard of it. I used the Rust book when I started learning it.
I used that and Rustlings and really liked both, but somebody mentioned this and I decided to take a look. It’s cool that it introduces other concepts.
Working on a blog(entirely for fun), found out the server backend, actix-web, does not handle early termination of a stream well. Wanted to stop an upload if the file size turned out to be too large, but you have to consume the entire upload before returning an error. If not the client will never see the connection close. I guess there is a way to check the size beforehand, but sucks that you can’t stop a stream in progress.
Apparently a long standing issue.
Whoa. Yeah, I can see where that would be a problem…
I’m working on a music player app written in libcosmic. Trying to see how far I can get with this toolkit.
Just finished all the Rustlings exercises, moving on to some simple GUI exercises with libcosmic!
