John - I just asked the same question of Claude, the new AI from Anthropic.

Can I ask what is making you so enthused about Rust? Are you going to develop a project we can follow, like your amazing Neural Network?

I'm hoping it's going to be like C++ but with some of the horrible bits removed, like dependency management for example.

My favourite thing to do with programming is probably low-level graphics programming, like creating swarms of blurred pixels. I did this in C++ I think for my free beginners' course, but it's such a pain to install the libraries you need.

So I'm hoping in Rust that kind of thing will be easier. You can barely do it in anything other than C or C++ because it's so resource-intensive.

Also I do want to try out neural networks in Rust using a suitable library, depending on how much hassle that seems when I know more about it.

I really love C++ but it's such a pain in the neck.

I definitely plan to make videos on various projects, unless Rust eventually turns out a huge disappointment!
