@brainblasted Let's make it clear that I don't actually know rust and I've hacked with other languages I formally don't know in the past. For one, I don't get it. I know how to program, yet I feel completely lost looking at rust code, even more than if I was looking at C. Also, it looks incredibly and unnecessarily verbose. Might also be that I'm spoiled. Still my point remains, I don't like it.

@gabmus Could you give me an example of code you feel lost on? I feel like verbosity comes down to how people write their programs. I personally try to keep things concise.

@brainblasted thanks a lot for wanting to help! I'm using the template by @bilelmoussaoui so I do have a starting point and I'm not 100% lost. I'll reach out on a matrix room if I end up hitting a brick wall.

@gabmus @bilelmoussaoui if you want another reference, you may want to take a look at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Solanum/ which is a pretty simple app, or https://gitlab.gnome.org/BrainBlasted/loupe/ which I extensively comment to try to help people coming from other languages understand the code

@brainblasted @bilelmoussaoui thanks a lot, I've been looking at shortwave, but simpler apps are probably a better bet.
