October and already the leaves are fading away in the Adirondacks. πŸ‚ Most shocking to me is that we are less then a month away from November, which in many ways should be a sigh of relief with the craziness of work and with the deep blue skies and crisp days of that month.

I had this dream or maybe it was reality?

I was sitting down at this waterfall in the middle of the Adirondack wilderness, watching the ever so fascinating waves flow and the fluttering leaves on the trees, all alone.

I was listening to the Grateful Dead’s Dire Wolf, singing along, Please don’t murder me! I was giggling. A man stood looking over from the ledge, wondering if I was just very high or was suffering from schizophrenia. But I didn’t care, he walked away and I was giggling thinking about how much fun I’m having with old Jerry Garcia record.

I 🀎 Rust

The more I learn about Rust, the more I like about it’s syntax and it’s various paradigms. Reminds me of the best of C, Python, modern Javascript, and R. And not a lot of the ugly of those languages.

That said, some of the borrowing / ownership model is a bit weird in Rust. Not unlike shallow vs deep copies in Python. But maybe when I learn more it will be all groovy.
