"Rust compiler and Clippy are the biggest tsunderes — they'll shout at you for every small mistake, but in the end… they just want your code to be perfect." Why I Even Started Rust I didn't pick Rust out of curiosity or hype. I had to. I'm working as a Rust dev at Garden Finance, where I built part of a Wallet-as-a-Service infrastructure. Along with an Axum backend, we had this core Rust crate (standard-rs) handling signing and broadcasting transactions across: Bitcoin EVM chains Sui Solana Starknet And suddenly… memory safety wasn't "nice to have" anymore.
