I've started a course on rust and I am loving the idea of ownership/borrowing of data. And I've become convinced that it will have wide scale adoption over the next 20, 30 years like c++ has up until now. I feel like saving myself the money and the headaches of learning and using C++ with all its thread and memory safety issues.....which I don't even understand all that much. But rust is telling me I can learn a high performance systems language and not have to worry about things like that. I'm all game for that.
Yes...index....good...... I guess when it comes time to finalizing my encoding/ decoding scheme I can do tests to see what makes the biggest difference. Thanks RG...looking forward to your talk today.
