just wanna say thank you for all your work! i genuinely admire your work as a dev. i don't know any rust (i only know ruby by way of rails hahah) so seeing your creations with this and rainbeam are hugely admirable
thanks! ironically, I only know the bare-bones syntax of ruby, so we're kind of reversed here! the codebase for this is really a slightly better version of rainbeam, since I actually learned a lot during the creation of that which would've just taken too long to work into an existing codebase
if you'd ever like to learn rust, the book is incredibly helpful! (I come from a JS/TS background and actually didn't read it, as the compiler errors will guide you most of the way)
I can definitely say rainbeam is not the best possible in any way, just considering how much more I learned since starting it. Tetratto is a little closer, but there are definitely places to improve in! (Rainbeam locally uses 146 MB of memory on first load, while Tetratto only uses 52 MB on average)
very interesting! hahah the reversal is pretty funny. i'd like to learn rust but i struggle with the likes of golang so i don't think it's in the cards for me, but i will bookmark the book for sure. ruby is my only background, i'm more into sysadmin stuff, but JS/TS is something i'm hoping to learn as well (especially as i hope to try some light atproto dev stuff for funsies).
rainbeam is highly impressive even despite the memory load! and it just makes tetratto even more impressive :]
