damn, Golang is picky! https://octodon.social/media/rPvteRvL9otauckN9fk

Me: "Golang is picky!"

Rust compiler: lololol

man idk, Rust is putting up way more of a fight than Golang did for me... I guess that's kind of by design though. https://octodon.social/media/yjYuGa_nH0PH-WbDscA

Alright I got tic-tac-toe working in both Go and (omg the struggle) Rust!

Here's my long blog post about it: https://sts10.github.io/2017/11/18/trying-go-and-rust.html (tl;dr Rust seems like a really cool idea, but Go seems more practical for most)

@schlink Here's some nifty golang thing. structs can have attached functions.

So if i make a struct, called vector with 2 inputs of X and Y (int)

type Vector struct {
X int
Y int
}

i can attach a function, like "Add"

func (v *Vector) Add(other Vector) {
return Vector{v.X + other.X, v.Y + other.Y}
}
