I am surprised at the amount of comments that dismiss coding as just means to an end. Yes, every skill at the end of the day is a means to an end, but mastery of those skills is at the end what drives the vision. To know where you are going you need to know where you have been.

These attempts to make educational short form content still suffer from the same drawbacks, so I wonder how effective they truly are.
but those improvements, and the complexity that they bring, are not enough to make the switch from a Go codebase to a Rust codebase unless performance is REALLY an issue.
