Haskell by day, Rust by night. Guiding newcomers through the rugged terrain of Rust, one line at a time.
LONG:
Paweł Szulc is a seasoned developer with a rich background in functional programming languages, including Scala and Haskell. Known in the developer community as "EncodePanda," Paweł is passionate about exploring complex software design patterns and bridging the gap between practicality and expressiveness in code.
Recently, Paweł has expanded his expertise to include Rust, intrigued by its powerful system-level programming capabilities and the language’s emphasis on memory safety without sacrificing performance. His transition to Rust aligns well with his interest in leveraging expressive type systems to write robust, efficient software.
