I'm a new user to rust and I have to admit. I am very confused on where I should direct some questions/discussions. Currently I have know of 5 communication avenues:
StackOverflow
The Mailing list
This Discourse forum
IRC
Github Issues (if it's bug-related)
As a new user, I honestly dislike IRC unless it's an in-depth or nuanced discussion and it needs a higher bandwidth than email or a forum.
discuss - discussion about the development of the language itself
In practice, when people want something to be seen they often cross-post to Reddit, but Iād like get to a point where thatās not necessary (with more eyes on SO and more actual dev activity here).
As of now the mailing list is no longer even advertised anywhere. Weāve considered adding another discourse instance specifically for arbitrary user-level discussion, and I have basically resolved to do so, but itās on the backburner ATM. Thereās some concern that adding another forum to replace the mailing list could fragment the community further, but it does feel like thereās a function missing still (user discussion) that isnāt quite covered by reddit.
The docs page tries to make it clear where to go for what kind of discussion. What would have helped you @zmoazeni?
