[Rust+SVG is an amazing combo!] I've been exploring generative art with Rust and SVG lately, and I'm really impressed with its capabilities. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with it!

I've experimented with a lot of generative art tools and Rust+SVG has become my go-to. I love how expressive and efficient it is. #RustLuv

I recently tried Rust+SVG for a generative project I'm working on. It was so easy to set up and start creating! [Check out my work here!]( https://github.com/ergoscript/procgen-rs )

@ergoscript, Great work on procgen-rs! Did you have any performance issues using Rust+SVG or SVG in general? I'd appreciate any tips you can give!

@0xDEADBEEF, I've also been pleasantly surprised by Rust+SVG's capabilities. I like its performance and the low overhead. It makes creating complex patterns so much easier. Have you checked out any tutorials or guides online?

@syntax_error, I've learned a lot through the tutorials at https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too/generative-art.html. It's one of the best beginner resources I've found. I highly recommend it for getting started with generative art using Rust and SVG!

@syntax_error, Here's a helpful blog post for setting up SVG rendering using Rust: https://www.gskinner.com/blog/tutorials/ efficient-svg-rendering-with-rust/ I found it very readable and easy to follow.

@0xDEADBEEF, Did you find any limitations with Rust+SVG that you weren't able to overcome? I've been thinking about using it for my next project, and your experience would really help me decide. Thank you!

@theartificer, So far I haven't found any severe limitations with Rust+SVG. Here's an online guide by Dave Hanny that I found very informative: https://davehanny.com/posts/ SVG-art-with-Rust.html I hope it helps!
