mpc_valet VS rust-by-example

Yeah I'm just starting Rust from 30+ years of C++ and my initial reaction is What the actual ****!? Without reading anything I tried to concatenate a string literal plus a string I passed in, assuming I'd just figure it out but nope! Anyway, I've grabbed "the book" and will go through it properly. C++ has become a nightmare really; I've stopped using anything beyond the smart pointers they added (those are a massive productivity bonus). I saw someone had written a little keygroup creator web app (https://github.com/plule/mpc_valet) for the akai MPC system and found out it was written in Rust so now I'm all aboard the Rust train.

Rust can feel a bit intimidating at first but once you start getting the hang of it, you will enjoy it a lot. It has a very well articulated documentation, which can be used as a good learning resource too. Some other resources for Rust include Rustlings and Rust-By-Example.

Rust by Example

Rust by Example: Collection of runnable examples, which many find useful to read

I think something went wrong there, I can find this (merged) PR with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/pull/1679/files that has the first example collecting into a string, (which is obv less effective). It was merged 2 weeks ago. I dont know why it isnt online yet.

I more or less went straight from The Book (see also Rust by Example) to Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists and code::dive conference 2014 - Scott Meyers: Cpu Caches and Why You Care and I've often seen PNGme suggested as the next step after that.

Context around the "rust by example" discussion from 2015: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/issues/390

The Rust By Example website is another helpful resource for learning Rust. It provides a series of interactive examples that demonstrate how to use various Rust features and libraries.

The book is great and was my original introduction to the language, but rustlings or Rust By Example might be more interesting for an interactive (and more self paced) approach.

Rust by Example: Rust by Example is a collection of runnable examples that cover a wide range of Rust concepts and standard libraries. It's a great way to see how Rust code works in practice.
