Knocked out another rust project! This time I implemented the A* search algorithm with rust, which is good news for my other A* search project!

I am trying to decide now whether I want to refactor the current JS code, which is pretty buggy, or to try and figure out how to get my rust implementation building as WASM.

It might be worth doing both, and then comparing the results!!

I'm certainly impressed with how quickly I can iterate on my rust code. I'm experience some compiler headaches, but once I've got those working the program is fast and typically does what I expect it to do (assuming I don't make any programming errors!!).

The rust community I have been exposed to is also very friendly and helpful, and it gives me hope that I can continue to learn the language with some support, instead of in isolation.

I am excited to see what other stuff I can get up to with this new tool on my belt! I think I'd like to try and build a web server next, but I think I'll try and get to the end of rust's Book first, since that's the final project in there.

It's awesome to feel hyped on coding!! What a cool thing.
