I decided to adventure myself in Tauri development for a personal project, I read the entire Rust official book and followed the exercises. When I first started developing it was like if nothing I learned helped for real life projects.

Now after getting betting up every single time I touch my project, it seems I'm catching things slowly.

But I've never seen such a hard modern language, I used C and C++ before and it's incomparable.

But then what's the point of Tauri? I mean there are plenty general use projects in Tauri, why'd they chose Rust?

Once you've learned it, Rust is just a very nice compiled language to work with.

You get higher level constructs than in C++, a language without a billion weird edge cases, a modern package manager, and much more. In my experience, my code written in Rust is more likely to work as intended, both because of the stricter compile-time checks, but also because language features like sum types make it easier to check the core logic at compile time.

I work in both C++ and Rust, among other languages, but these days I never reach for C++ for a new project

A fake sense of security by pretending that simple apps that don't expose low level interfaces and use wrapping libraries for all parts of networking need to be implemented by-design memory language, or for people who just like rust.
