I'm enjoying playing with PHP in a more fun way with this site, and with a few other playground kind of things, but last week I was encouraged to try out a different language for a bit of coding. Just because really. It was suggested to me it should be "rust", so I went for it.
I haven't got far: I've basically just installed it; created a Hello, World! script; and then a simple "choose a number" game. The latter was just following a tutorial. But I also created a distance convertor, to change miles into km or vice-versa. Nothing tricky but with it being a new language it felt like a bit of an achievement.
My favourite bit so far has just been a simple pair, or two item tuple:
let (label_check, label_convert_to) = if conversion_type == 1 {
("miles", "km")
} else {
("km", "miles")
};
As I say, nothing too special but I like it!
And, just so you know, it tells me I ran 13.35752km this morning.
