Send me a textYou might know about Benedikt through one of his confernce talks, or the podcast he did with Bas Broek. Anyways, he has done some interesting things in with Rust on iOS.Oh and… “Basically, it just involves a crazy amount of brackets. So if you find Objective C offensive, then please do not look at Lisp code.”I think it was me who said that and I do not know where I heard if first, but this line cracks me up every time I hear it.My talk with Benedikt is an example of why I enjoy doing the interviews so much. So, thanks for that Benedikt.You can find Benedikt on Twitter. And to learn about the other things he is doing have a look at his website. https://terhech.de/Join me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.
