I hope this turns out incredibly well, the thought of a language that compiles just stupid fast and is also capable of reflection, or any kind of housekeeping of code when compiling... I would try this out once it gets released.
Comment on: Can you help me feel better about being forced to switch to github from TFS?
I also have to type in the code from a text every time I want to login because github narks on you if you dont have two factor authentication.
Wait, are you talking about logging in whenever you need to push/pull a change from a repo on Github? There's a better way. Set up an ssh key by going into your settings and putting your public key in the ssh settings. Then to use that key instead of a password when pushing/pulling you'll need to add an entry to your ssh config like so:
Host myGithub
IdentityFile ~/.sshkeys/myGithubkey
HostName github.com
User git
Then, set up your remote url (for your repo) to be something like myGithub:MyUsername/MyRepo.git. Then whenever you push/pull your repo, it should use your key automatically and you will not have to log in (unless your key is protected with a password, then ssh-agent's key caching could help with that) .
EDIT: Your ssh config file should be named "config" and reside in a ".ssh" directory in your home directory. Not sure if it's the same for Windows but I think that should work.
EDIT2: When specifying the url for remote, you will need to replace "myUsername@github.com" part with the hostname specified in the config file.
Comment on: What's the cheapest place to register a website?
Not the cheapest but worth considering, gandi respects customer rights with their "no-bullshit" policy. http://www.gandi.net/no-bullshit (disclaimer: I use gandi for hosting)
Comment on: I've pretty much learned the basics of C++ so far in university, what else can I learn with this knowledge with not too much difficulty?
I would say continue to learn more about C++. The important thing you should get a grasp on soon is memory management. Once you're proficient in C++ (or any one programming language for that matter, though a good background in C++ is a good background to have), learning other languages (only if you have to) shouldn't be as much as a problem.
Are you taking about the game Rust? I'm pretty sure OP is talking about the programming language Rust. https://www.rust-lang.org/
