@bjzaba_ Seeing that you're now working with Rust instead of with Java on Voyager3, does that mean you dumped all your previous work?

Heh, pretty much. Not that it's much of a loss, I didn't have much anyway. ;)

@bjzaba_ Oh, good :) Also, I read that you've been working on your own graphic libraries. Are you binding OpenGL to Rust thru C?

Loading the functions at run time is pretty much a requirement if you want your code to be portable ;)

@bjzaba_ YES! SO MUCH THIS! Well, you're doing some super interesting stuff. Thanks :) I hope we can get to peek at your code soon.

It doesn't help that I'm pushing Rust's parametric polymorphism to the limit with lmath. I've uncovered lots of critical bugs.

@bjzaba_ Wow :| I assume you've reported them? It's a giant cherry on top that you get to contribute to the language.

Of course! Tons of them. The devs are very appreciative. I'm also on the #rust channel loads - it's very lively over there.

@bjzaba_ I would imagine so! :) You mean on freenode?

@bjzaba_ I'll head over there once I learn Rust for real heh. I'm starting to get a bit tired of the golang channel on freenode.

@bjzaba_ don't get me wrong though, I love the language, but the general attitude of that channel is snobbish.

We're pretty friendly. :) Doesn't matter if you're just getting going, hehe.
