In this episode of QnA with friends, I got a chance to interview John Nunley! John is a software engineer and open-source contributor who loves working with Rust. In our chat, he shared how he got started with Rust and what keeps him excited about it. We talked about his journey from being a beginner to becoming a key contributor in the Rust community. John discussed his work with several different projects including the smol-rs library, the challenges he faced, and how he overcame them. He also explained how Rust handles asynchronous programming compared to other languages. Don't forget to keep an eye on his socials to catch updates on his new project, a Rust compiler written in C, called dozer!
