Am I dumb or what's up with the radio stuff on the left? ๐ Is rust common for some sort of radio programming?
The image was modified, I think the original said something like "we're gonna listen to Russian number stations on shortwave radio"
I'm still down.
Thats so much better ๐ญ
I think the original text was about ham radio.
And yet it's still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.
Check this guy out, doesn't even have any radio equipment in his IDE
I mean, presumably there's a microcontroller in this radio. For programming that, your only real mainstream choices are C, C++ and Rust, since you can't have a language runtime without a filesystem.
But yeah, it's neither the case that Rust is overwhelmingly popular for that (C/C++ do stick around still), nor is it the only discipline where Rust shines.
