   So I've been working with Rust the last few weeks. I started learning it about   
   a   
   year ago but got frustrated and quit for a while. Though I normally can only   
   program for a month or two before I need a break from physical pain associated   
   with using the computer.   
      
   But anyway, this time when I got stuck, I used some of their support methods   
   available.   
      
   So far I've been finding Rust pretty interesting and cool. I released the first   
      
   version of configster, a library for parsing config file: https:   
   /crates.io/crates/configster   
      
   I did that library because I needed a way to parse config files, as I'm also   
   working on oxi-rmw, a Rust port of rmw (a C program I started 10 years ago).   
      
   I find that building is noticeably slower on Rust, but on the up-side, I spend   
   less time on certain bits of code and debugging.   
      
   I won't do any more of a review than that I guess, as there's plenty of docs   
   online. ;)
