awesome-rust VS rust

It can be tricky to find learning resources that is perfectly tailored to the exact point we’re you’re standing right now. Especially if you already have prior experience.

But since you’re already familiar with programming, perhaps just dive right in…?

I.e. start a new project in Rust. You could do something like Advent of Code, Project Euler or Cryptopals[0]. Or write a simple webserver or whatever you feel like.

Don’t forget that ChatGPT can be quite useful for stuff like this. You can use it like a mentor. Just ask it anything you want to, make it show you examples (and then more examples) and so on. The answers might not be correct all of the time, but at least it can give you an idea of what docs to read next.

If you’re looking for blog posts, an acquaintance of mine has written some: https://priver.dev/tags/rust/

For more links to code/learning resources, see https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust

And if you get stuck you also have the official Rust chats on Zulip/Discord.

HTH. Best of luck!

I did find the official https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ quite useful, it's more than enough to understand the language itself. Command-line programing is not a complicated thing, basically you have the CLI arguments, environment variables, stdin-stdout-sterr and nothing else. A few crates to start with: clap, dotenv, config, log4rs. Just go the crate documentation, there are many good examples there, no other book is neccessary. If you have a specific problem to solve, start to browse crates.io or https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust for possible solutions.

37. Awesome Rust is a great repo with a huge curated list of plenty with Rust code and resources. You can find complete applications in different areas that were built based on Rust.

Post it there https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust

I'd recommend taking a look at https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust and seeing if anything interests you that way.

Not really sorted by complexity, but awesome-rust might be close to what you're looking for.

This list is currently far more comprehensive, and it's filled with a lot of high-quality crates.

Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650

This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:

Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

    #include 

> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.

Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Almost fixed the compiler: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123325

Rust: A secure, efficient, and modern programming language (omitting ten thousand words). You can simply follow the installation instructions provided on the official website.

Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.

To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/

We strongly believe in Rust as a powerful language for building production-grade software, especially for systems like ours that run alongside Kubernetes.

The above Assert<{N % 2 == 1}> requires #![feature(generic_const_exprs)] and the nightly toolchain. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76560 for more info.
