I’m officially entering my Rust arc. After years of writing in Go, it’s time to branch out and see what all the hype is about. Rust is a pragmatic choice in today's ecosystem, and I'm pushing myself to become a better developer. In this video, I’m breaking down my entire 3-month learning plan—from speed-running the JetBrains Academy to building a full-scale "capstone" project. I share my philosophy on using AI to unblock code, my list of project ideas, and how I plan to translate popular Go implementations into idiomatic Rust. ⟡˖ Watch Live I’ll be coding and learning live every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Come study with me on Mondays as I dive into algorithm books, or catch the coding sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays. ⟡˖ Resources Mentioned: - JetBrains Academy (The interactive IDE course I’m using): https://link.bashbunni.dev/EQdftG - Writing an Interpreter in Go: https://link.bashbunni.dev/AoUviD - Cross-platform GUI library for Rust (Iced): https://link.bashbunni.dev/ki8JYT - Maas’s command-line invoice generator inspo: https://link.bashbunni.dev/DTHk9s ⟡˖ How to support bunni: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9H0HzpKf5JlazkADWnW1Jw/join https://github.com/sponsors/bashbunni/ ⟡˖ My other corners of the Internet: https://twitch.tv/bashbunni https://github.com/bashbunni https://discord.com/invite/Y3vbKS4K9j (come hang!) https://mastodon.social/@bashbunni https://twitter.com/sudobunni https://bsky.app/profile/bashbunni.dev 00:00 Entering My Rust Arc: Why I'm Moving from Go 01:07 The "Unmet Potential" & My Growth Mindset for 2026 01:45 Step 1: Speed-running Rust with JetBrains Academy 02:55 My Philosophy: Research vs. Implementation 03:55 April Goals: Applying Learning to Small Projects 06:50 May & June: Scaling Up 07:35 Using AI as a Solo Dev (Without Losing the Learning) 08:35 Beginner Project Ideas 10:00 Exploring the "Iced" GUI Library & Desktop Apps 11:15 Join the community #programming #learntocode #rustlang #rustseries #bashbunni #buildinpublic
