Slow Going

RustyElm - 2018-09-05: Slow Going [AUDIO]

Huge News: Elm 0.19 released!
Faster compiler with smaller output

Core packages now in "elm" namespace rather than "elm-lang"
New Browser module replaces HTML.program stuff

New Time module looks nice

Looking forward to using Elm again, but first need to get basic Rust backend running...
Progress update (reading The Rust Programming Language book):
Tests in Rust look great

Unit tests in same file as code makes sense
Testing private functions FTW!
Separate integration tests for public library functions makes sense
Skinny main.rs and fat lib.rs files
Read through the I/O Project chapter

Impatient to get to Functional Language Features

Functional Language Features

But still refreshed previously learnt concepts nicely
Introduced more new stuff than expected, glad I read it
Finally got to Functional Language Features chapter

Functional Language Features

Covered anonymous functions and iterators, basically map
The Improving Our I/O Project section was probably the best

Improving Our I/O Project

Just started reading the More About Cargo and Crates.io chapter

More About Cargo and Crates.io

At some point may have crate I'd like to release, who knows?
Released minor update to WP Cron Pixie
Now built with local to project Elm 0.18 tools

Cleaned up package dependency that prevents Elm 0.19 upgrade
Next version will therefore use Elm 0.19
