Hello

I've been interested with Rust for the last year, but cannot find time to learn Rust.

Coming from Python, i have found my self quite difficult to learn Rust and grasp its concepts.

So, for the last couple of weeks, i have been able to spare some times to learn Rust, and created a mini project to parse Vendor OUI with Rust.

If you would be so kind to spare some of your time to review my code and give me some constructive feedback on how to tackle this, and some guidance for me about what i can improve because its not the rust way of doing things, i would be very happy. I want to improve my skills on Rust so i have another tools in my toolbox

This is not a promotion, because i believe there's another tools just like mine out there nor i want you to use my project, because this project is only for me to test my skill for using Rust.

Thank you in advanced :D

=== Additional text after posting ===

Thank you for those who reply, i really learned something new. I'll try to improve my code :D

To Panic or not to Panic Thank you for your pointer. I just remember this from the docs. So basically, the general rule is only to use panic when something bad really happened, and my program cannot continue right? otherwise always return the error?

Really panics should only be used when the situation should never occur and if it does that indicates a bug in the program

I'll rethink the use of panic in my code

would this section suffice? https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch09-00-error-handling.html
