This is always one of the first things I setup on a project and teach or encourage my teams to do… I’m always surprised how many devs would rather use print statements all the time (not just in Rust, but especially JS/TS) when it only takes like 5 minutes to configure the debugger. Maybe 10 minutes if you need to search how to open the debugging port in Chrome/FF.

Unfortunately a shockingly large number of people don’t get this… including my old boss who was running an AI-based startup 💀

The worst is when you’re not expecting it and get ambushed with a whiteboard…

Is it actually ready to use? I don’t see much information about how to use it. I know there’s been work on integrating cosmic-text, but I notice this issue is still open: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/320

The main issue I’ve come across experimenting with Rust UI frameworks is that none of them seem to have a decent multiline / rich text field story. Iced and the like are nice for simple apps but if you need to e.g. input Markdown and render it nicely all in one field you’re out in the wilderness.

Alright, time to update my team’s linters and formatters…
