Downloaded/installed Rust. The example code shows curly brace and semicolon fetish I've avoided till now (C was saving RAM when 65K was a lot!).
Downloading Visual Studio (mandatory to have) took a long time. It is 1.42G!
The Rust doc said nothing about what to use to create/edit a source file. Finally just used PBCC Edit. I had to use File Explorer to delete the .bas it kept adding to the name. An appropriate editor is a problem for another day.
Rust uses UTC-8 so internationalization will be easier than current BASICs that are far behind PB (PB has WSTRING, others are ANSI).
Command Prompt for compiling is another thing to improve. I did have success with "Hello world".
Rust has a forum called Community. I think I'll discuss experiences with Rust, rather the PB.
Cheers,
