happyborg, to android

Having beaten Windows .BAT files and FTP into submission on one laptop (thanks #WinSCP) while getting my #TauriV2 app to build for #Android on another, today I will be figuring out how to debug it with #AndroidStudio.

It almost works. I can call #RustLang from the #Svelte GUI, but my custom protocol handlers aren't being called. 🤔

Once again I get foiled by switching languages. :blobcatfacepalm2:

In Javascript, you have to compare strings with ===, not ==, or else you'll run into type coercion problems, because Javascript thinks 1 == "1" is a totally fine thing to be true. (it's not)

But in Kotlin, === compares identity not equality for strings. But in the JVM, string values are aggressively cached, so === actually does what you want most of the time. Unless your strings come from weird places, like JNI code. Then you get awful non-deterministic behavior that's incredibly hard to debug, but it totally goes away when you use the correct comparison operator == for strings.

sigh I'm not really as good at this whole programming thing as I should be by now.

Programming is hard.

A skill is choosing systems and tools that make it easier and making meta choices to enable you to maximise your agency in those choices.

I remember the pain I endured learning #nodeJS a decade ago, then looking at #Angular [shudder] and #React hmm.

Then the pleasure that followed learning to use #Svelte and #Rust. You'd have a hard time getting me to use anything else now. Not happening.

My debut Rust project is now part of debian / Ubuntu.
