⚓️ A Tour of Rust with Pascal Precht

Rust is a modern language that’s used for embedded systems, web servers, CLI applications, and general tooling. It can even be compiled into WebAssembly which allows it to be run in-browser.

Being closer to the metal than languages like JavaScript, Rust has the performance of C or C++. It also guarantees memory safety and requires you to handle all possible errors, ensuring that your applications are bug free.

Learning Rust will change the way you approach the code you write regularly.

Starting from “Hello World” you’ll quickly move on to learning about Rust’s types, configuration files, and the cargo package manager along with classics like functions, loops, and handling user input.

More Rust-specific concepts like macros and pattern matching will also be covered.

Topics Include:

  • Types
  • Functions & loops
  • User input with stdin
  • Package management with cargo
  • Pattern matching
  • Error handling
