  1. I'd love to know what you think is messy about the syntax. If you've got any specifics, that'd be awesome.

  2.  @LowLevelTV  Yes, I definitely agree with that. However, though it has a fixed initial learning "tax", it offers a significant recurring return. There are some friction points, which may be in different places compared to other languages, but I've found that the net gain in developer productivity and velocity is significantly higher. I've also noticed that the whole language model encourages me to think about my code design in a more robust way. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but code I've [re]written in Rust enables me to dive back in much faster for fixing issues or adding new features. This is why we're transitioning our entire team to Rust for development (both cloud with Axum and device/desktop with Tauri). But I totally agree, higher entry point, but higher return (IMO). Great content, I really appreicate your videos.

  3. Thanks, great video. On a related topic, somehow, I cannot figure out how to read from PWM? The rp-hal/rp-pico have write example, but not read (I might be missing something).

  4. I would generally agree, however, there is a nuance. I have a lot of shortcuts, but I also use exclusively the trackpad (on MacBook) which significantly reduces the movement cost of pointer activities. In fact, my wrists barely move, if at all, when I am engaged in pointer activities. Interestingly, what slows me down more is not the pointer actions, but the arrow keys. They are on the keyboard, but still more disruptive to my input flow than a pointer action. Anyway, these things are mostly personal, so it's hard to have a universal best solution, even if there are still some good rules of thumb.
