Over the past couple of weeks, I've been wanting to expand my knowledge and to become more valuable as a developer.

Well, I'm pretty decent at Frontend already... I guess I should try out the backend of things!

After asking my friends for advice and for looking on different online forums, I've decided to go with Rust! 🦀

Why did I choose it?

• High performance!
• Low memory consumption
• It's not too hard to learn (Yes, I lied. I know a little Python too so I know what I'm getting into.)
• Great for system-based ops
• Nice-to-have for backend experience
• I've always wanted to make an awesome CLI!

So... after a couple hours of learning the fundamentals of Rust, I created my first project!

A Magic 8 Ball program!

I would appreciate it if you gave the repo a ⭐ and some feedback in the comments below!

Thanks so much for your help. I can't wait to learn more!
