Ah yes, I am! Thank you! I knew there was another very famous #Yew i should have added but couldn’t remember its name. Will add this to last week’s thread on Yews!

The Fortingall Yew stands in the churchyard of Fortingall Church near the east end of the attractive village of Fortingall in Perthshire. It is believed to be 5,000 years old and is quite possibly the oldest living thing on Earth. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortingall/yew/index.html

4/x Iroko trees are also planted at shrines and other important locations, where they become sacred trees, and the Iroko is widely known as the #TreeOfLife in Nigeria (another Tree of Life - last week the #Yew, too!) In #TheLionKing, though, where this picture is from, it is (somewhat confusingly!) one of the landmarks on the way to the Tree of Life ... (and looks a bit different too, so might have to check this!)

7/x Yew trees were also a favoured (very hard) wood for #LongBows and #Spears, from #prehistoric times right to the middle ages and beyond. Even now, the German bowmaker Ulli Stehli travels to the #Uetli forest in #Switzerland to get #Yew wood for his bows

6/x But it's not just in the #UK, throughout Europe there is a long history of #Yew #Mythology - both as #TreeOf Death and #TreeOfLife. In Greek Mythology the way to #Hades is lined with Yews, and some suggest #Yggdrasil, the amazing #Norse tree of life, may have been a Yew

3/x so decided to look into this a bit more - and, of course (as many of you here will know already) - came across so many wonderful old yew trees next to churches! I collected them all on Twitter - here just two of the most famous ones: two #Yew trees outside St Edward's Parish Church, Stow-on-the-Wold ...

2/x a while later i noticed this #yew right next to St Mary’s #church here in #Eastbourne and realised there may be connection between yews and churches. It happened to be Easter that day - also about #Pagan and #christian syncretism

Starting a little #ThickTrunkTuesday series today: every week a short 🧵on a different #Tree and its #historicalecology, meanings, uses, #Mythology etc.

Today it’s the #Yew - a tree I’ve been intrigued by ever since we first came across this big old yew tree next to #Wilmington church here in #Sussex. It’s over 1,500 years old and pretty amazing! 1/x

Have been having issues with #Yew with especially stylist recently. This may mean work on the blog will pause for a bit. Seem there is a bug with #rustlang 1.70 that impacts wasm environments. The workaround I can't seem to get to work with stylist. Maybe it's time to give #Dioxus a go given it seems to be an all in one solution and I do need to build a desktop app to make my life easier next week...

Just wrote a piece on Yew, the Rust framework. If you're intrigued by #Rust or #WebAssembly, this might be right up your alley! Give it a read: https://ugvx.dev/article/exploring-yew #Yew

`The #yew was revered by our ancient #Celtic ancestors for its longevity, and because it remained green and vibrant, thriving in the harshness of winter when all other trees succumbed.
Through its roots, the tree secreted toxins and thus ensured that not much grew near it. These natural open spaces were perfect places for pagan rituals and ceremonies. Therefore, the yew was considered a "sacred" tree.`

Please enjoy this ancient #yew tree, which has been shaped by many generations of #topiary artists over 200+ years into the form of a perfect cone. Yews grow very slowly. So (to me) this is an awe inspiring achievement.

Inside the portal, visitors are invited by a small sign on a bench under the deep shade of the tree's canopy to "Take a Seat". Perfect in case you would like to get away from it all for a while. I recommend it!

#Alttext for more details.

After trying with #yew and #dioxus, I think I may I found my jam for web front-end development in #rust : #Leptos

The documentation and examples are clear, performances looks fine. Maybe I will be able to build a web application with it 🤞

Some very poorly written #rust code. https://github.com/lalanikarim/rust_full_stack
#rustlang #surrealdb #axum #yew

What is the best #rust stack in your experience for web applications? I haven’t decided what use yet but it seems like #Rocket and #Yew might be the way to go.
#rustlang #programming

@bnjbvr
Damned, j'étais content de jouer avec #yew ou #seed.
Maintenant je veux jouer avec du #wasm "natif" !

Made an account for the website I’ve been working on to learn yew.rs… so uh, if you want to see a website that’s a much worse version of all the existing ADS-B trackers (mine doesn’t even have a map) checkout @planesoverme or go to https://planesover.me :)

#Rust #Aviation #Yew

Currently tinkering with #yew to try to build a web client for my RSS Api.

Well, I need to read some stuff about some web context, as I am a total newbie on this.

But it's nice to write some #rust instead of Javascript/Typescript
