Four times, from scratch.
That's how many times I've re-written my app, called Boom Languages. Every time I did, I learned a ton, and in this post, I'm going to tell you the 5 top lessons I've learned along the way.
Through trial and error, I discover how Tauri manages state - and how NOT to manage state in Rust (using mutable global variables).
String slices and array slices - what a lovely topic
References and borrowing. Sharing is caring!
We add redirects
Diving into one of the most important concepts in Rust - ownership.
Control flow - if, while, loop, break, all that cool stuff.
A quick one - comments in Rust!
It's all about functions in this one!
Along with a number of other little fixes, we find three ways to create a new window in Tauri. This lets us launch a new "editor" window after the "open project" window has done its job.
