I’m looking to get a lemmy bot figured out for posting sports scores in real-time (or near it) like Reddit had for NHL games. The lemmy api reference states that rust has the api as a loadable library, but I’ve only ever done C/C++ and python. Anything Coursera style to get a basic overview of how to get started in Rust?
I did also see lemmy-bot but it looks like it doesn’t handle post editing at the moment, and not sure i really want to learn how to use npm to be honest.

Thank you! And thank you for the tip I had a feeling it looked just similar enough to be deceiving.
I think there’s a few places where this is true in Rust especially. For example, coming from a C-style language (and Python) the
enum
keyword throws a lot of people off. In Rust, while you can use anenum
to represent a set of “constant” values, it’s more common to use it to represent a tagged union, making it more liketype
from F#:You might find that some concepts look and feel similar to what you might see in traditional OOP languages, but often end up working more like something out of a functional language.
