##Bits of Rust

This is a clone of the "Just a Bit" Pebble watchface, written in rust using pebble.rs. No clue if it works on anything but aplite without modification.

##Building In order to build, clone pebble.rs to somewhere on your computer and modify the path in Cargo.toml as appropriate.

Don't be fooled by the Cargo.toml, building is actually accomplished with ./build.sh rather than cargo build. Cargo is only used to build dependencies.

See the note about patching the pebble sdk on the pebble.rs readme.

##Questions I ask myself but no one else has actually asked yet:

• So this is all memory-safe and stuff because rust, right?

  Lol no. Take note of all the unsafe blocks, both here and in pebble.rs, and then realize they were written by me. I just recently fixed a bug in which I accidentally dereferenced an integer. Not sure if any of rust's benefits have survived.

• Why on earth do I do this and this instead of some legitimate build process?

  Reasons. Number one reason is that I can still use pebble build because I didn't want to have to rewrite pebble's build process. Also, I still have no clue how waf works and it seems not-awesome.

• This is seeming less and less worth the trouble...

  Hmm yeah you might be right. It does however tell the time, albeit in the cryptic encoding of the 'just a bit' face. Also, if I can figure out how to write a wrapper library that is actually safe, it might turn out pretty well in the end.

##Size comparison

In my builds, the C implementation of this watchface clocks in at 920 bytes, and this version is (currently) at 1674 1328 bytes. There are probably some tricks I could find to decrease that, because I haven't tried anything past rustc's opt-level yet.
