Let’s debunk the myth of Vim and learn how it’s possible to remember all the shortcuts using the specific Vim language. We’ll see how to move with vim motions, and I’ll share what I’ve learned so far, and why you might give Vim a try as well.

Securing and modernizing software is a top priority today. Tech debt and memory-safety bugs remain the largest sources of vulnerabilities, which is why teams increasingly turn to Rust for its reliability and memory safety. But rewrites are hard, scary, and carry a lot of risk. Mainmatter assembled our experience from helping clients successfully modernize some of the worlds most important software into this book.

The internet allowed us to publish and link-together an enourmous amount of information, how to find anything in this vast ocean of interlinked documents is still a problem. To build a better internet we need to work on its content's discoverability.

When we made our strategic bet on Rust back in 2022, we focused on Rust for backends and cloud systems. At the time, that was not an obvious choice. Rust was mostly seen as a systems language only, a safer replacement for C and C++ in operating systems, embedded devices, or browser engines. Suggesting to use it also for the kind of web backends that teams would typically build with Rails, Django, or Node.js required some explaining.
