book VS rust

Welcome to Building a Single-Threaded Web Server. This lab is a part of the Rust Book. You can practice your Rust skills in LabEx.

The link below (https://github.com/rust-lang/book/tree/main/tools) could imply the book was written as Word .docx with named styles, which enabled transformation into markdown for the mdBook?

agreed, and the book is pretty upfront about it being for more intermediate readers. i felt like i hit the sweet spot for this book after having gone through the rust programming language [0], zero to production in rust [1], and having worked on a few larger rust projects. all three books are really good in their own way.

The Rust book

My first port of call was to google learn rust which lead me to "the book". The book is a first steps guide written by the rust community for newbies (or Rustlings as they're called) to gain a 'solid grasp of the language'.

Before Prodzilla, I’d read 'The Book' a couple of times, and had made my way through Rustlings, but hadn’t yet built a serious project in Rust.

Install Rust: To get started with Rust, you need to install it on your computer. Rust provides an installer called rustup that makes it easy to get started. You can download the installer from rust-lang.org.

I never heard of "German strings" in place of the small string optimization before! And there had been way too many proposals to add such types to the standard library [1] [2] [3] [4]. My understanding is that:

1. Both `Vec` and `String` should share the same layout as part of the standard library's contract.

2. Unlike `String`, the equivalent optimization for `Vec` is more questionable especially when T might be any type. C++ standard libraries frequently do implement multiple layouts for std::string but not for std::vector for the same reason.

3. Rust never allows an implicit copying of `String` in the first place, which greatly benefits from the SSO, so the lack of SSO in Rust is less important compared to C++.

Rust: Install Rust from rust-lang.org.

Which is an implementation of Language Server Protocol for Rust programming language. It provide a lot of useful features for your development in Rust, such as code completion, syntax highlighting, inlay hints, etc. You can checkout the manual of rust analyzer to know more about it.

If you encounter compiler errors that are misleading in their suggestions, or have proposals for better output in specific cases, please file a ticket: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%...

I have no idea why this blog is making the rounds again and I've learned a lot of Rust since, see my (badly benchmarked!) presentation at this year's Scientific Computing in Rust 2024:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdsBhqKOe7A

and a PR I sent in for the Rust compiler to speed it up for some low hanging fruit:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110477

I'll have to revisit this blog at some point and see what I should update, as well as a "From Rust to Julia" post for those that want to venture into that world as well.

Wrappers is an open source project that simplifies the creation of Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers using Rust.

Rust is a high-level programming language with a strong focus on memory safety created by Graydon Hoare, a former Mozilla employee as a personal project in 2006. Memory-safe languages like Rust have been recommended by the United States Department.

> Not sure I follow - isn't rustc still only a compiler frontend to LLVM, like clang is for C/C++?

The rustc source tree currently includes LLVM, GCC, and Cranelift backends: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/c6db1ca3c93ad69692a4c...

(Cranelift itself is written in Rust.)
