I was also frustrated to find the examples weren't inline, but I think this is a guest blog post which makes it a bit more understandable.

I wonder if the author has heard of KDL: https://kdl.dev/

There's a fun RustConf talk on this topic from a few years ago. https://youtu.be/tNVDjMxCz-c

I've been using Delta for a few years now and absolutely love it. Huge improvement to my command line diff viewing!

It seems to me that the point of the article is that "all the demand" is not just for C++, C, Java, Typescript, Python, etc. There is increasing demand from larger companies for Rust.
No one is forcing you to learn Rust. You don't have to bring yourself spend time learning it. You can keep writing those other languages.
Those languages have been around for a while and they'll continue to be around for a while more. Rust is just getting some time on that stage as well now.

That's the most constructive takeaway you have when looking at all their work? That's an unnecessarily limited view and doesn't add to the conversation.
From my vantage point their work fits the definition nicely.
"A collective body" [1] ... "Collectivized or characterized by collectivism" [1] ... "A political or economic theory advocating collective control especially over production and distribution" [2]

If you like this you might also like Nick Fitzgerald's 2019 RustConf talk: Flatulence, Crystals, and Happy Little Accidents.

In truth, that's exactly what it is. My point in writing this wasn't to say "Ooh, look at Rust being so much better". The original PHP is wonderful and there is definitely something lost in a Rust translation. Other things gained as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This blog post is just a personal journey winding through the thought process it took to replicate that PHP in Rust, something I did because I thought I might learn something.

https://tuckersiemens.com Just a log of my personal journey through tech. I don't post much, maybe once a year, but I have fun maintaining it.

I think Gary Bernhardt's corresponding Boundaries conference talk [1] is quite good, particularly because of how pragmatic he is in introducing the topic.
I have been thinking about and trying to work with this paradigm for a few years now. To be honest, it's been a struggle. Partly because it requires unlearning some habits and partly because there's limited opportunity to practice in my $DAYJOB where I'm working in codebases heavily invested in other paradigms.
I've seen and read many, many videos, blog posts, etc. on this topic. Everyone loves to introduce the concept with a contrived example and then stop there. What I would love to see more of are complete examples for everything from simple to complex applications.
I think there's potentially a lot of value in thinking this way (or at least taking as much from it as you can), but it's hard to learn and then to teach others without more examples to draw on.

In case you haven't seen it already, Cliff Biffle's "Learn Rust the Dangerous Way" might be of interest to you.

I try to keep it simple, HTML, Sass (but really just vanilla CSS), and no JS. I generate the site with Zola (https://www.getzola.org/), which has been fantastic. Nothing fancy here, probably write a post once a year, but I have fun doing so.
