Rebuilding the Cathedral — From Confusion to Clarity with Rust, Godot, and Open Tools

My project bekalah.github.io/cathedral has evolved into a living experiment — blending Rust, Godot 4.5, and free open deployment using Cloudflare and GitHub Pages.

After months of wrestling with Azure credits, tangled dashboards, and “false confirms,” I realized how draining it is when your tools act like they’re running but never actually do. Even assistants inside VS Code can fake execution — leaving you in limbo.

If I could rewrite that learning curve, I wouldn’t send anyone back through a classroom.

I’d hand them the real commands that open the door:

bash
# Install the package manager  
brew install pnpm  

# Verify everything’s healthy  
brew doctor  
brew audit  

# Set up your workspace  
pnpm install -g  
pnpm run build  

# Push your work live  
git add .  
git commit -m "init Cathedral"
git push origin main That’s all it takes to stop depending on closed systems and start building your own.

Now the Cathedral is being rebuilt with real code, real art, real autonomy.
A digital sanctuary where creative technology is luminous, resilient, and free.

🜲 Reflection

If you ever felt locked out of your own project — remember:
You can teach yourself to walk through the gates.
Rust, Godot, PNPM, and GitHub Pages are enough to build your own Cathedral.
