I recently built a system with a 3950x and a 2070 super and it has been great. This is the parts list I ended up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4cMMXv . The system handles AAA and competitive games without any issues. I dual boot with windows 10 and Arch linux and it's been a great experience.

Coincidentally, I personally started learning Rust as C++ was a lot more difficult to learn by myself. The Rust book[1] is a great resource as it makes learning pretty complex topics fairly easy to approach.

Personally the thing that really sold me over was the "Building a guessing game" section, as it showed how to use the build system to pull in external libraries. I found these aspects specifically difficult to learn when learning C++. Plus, after learning Rust, I was able to go back to C++ and better understand it. Still have no clue about build systems though.

I really like this list as it seems to cover the core aspects of what makes C++ a good language. But the one issue I have with resource such as these, is the lack of covering how to build real work projects. The list itself seems really good and after giving the topics a light skim, I really want to dive right into it and read everything.

But the biggest thing that I struggled with (and still have no idea about) when learning C++ was trying to learn how to build real projects. This includes things like, how do you use an external library? How do you set up a build system? Which build system to use in the first place? The last time I was trying to learn C++ (about two years ago I think?) I couldn't find answers to these questions, which was pretty discouraging as I thought C++ was a really useful language to learn. I wish this article covered some of these topics for beginners looking to build something more than a simple program.

I don't think so, but so far the only other such websites I've seen are http://www.arewewebyet.org/ and https://areweasyncyet.rs/ .

Though looks like there used to be a areweembeddedyet.org[1], but now https://docs.rust-embedded.org/ seems to be the main jumping off point for rust embedded.

This looks really cool! Fuzzing is something I've been looking into more and more as I learn about it. I'll definitely keep this in mind for the future. Have you guys considered Rust support?

Diesel isn't async yet, but interfacing with it in async frameworks such as actix seems to be pretty straightforward: https://actix.rs/docs/databases/

Just saw the implementation. It's goes a little over my head unfortunately, but I am curious about the affects of it. Did you compare the non-neural net version with the neural net version? If so what differences did you find?

This is such a cool project! Plus a pretty awesome example of using Rust for CLI's. I'm curious about the neural network though. Is that also written in Rust? Or are you embedding something else?

I'm guessing it stands for Internet eXchange?
