January rust adventure and life update

Hi Town, I’ve been learning rust by implementing a clone of posix ed, based on the gnu version. It’s not totally based on the gnu version, I’ve spent months reading a lot of old C and esoteric versions of the editor, but that’s where I’ve cribbed from most during this project.

Rust is nice. I’d like to make a post about it all on its own. The learning curve felt sheer and I’m nowhere near at the top of it, but it is comfortable to write now and I don’t feel scared of reading examples now either. It still feels dense and rich to read.

I’ve been losing weight consistently over the past year or so from counting my calories and learning to cook and learning about nutrition. I’m down to 205lbs from 220. It’s exciting and I feel great.

I hope you have a nice day. :)
