rust-by-example VS reference

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.

Is perfectly valid Rust code. And there's reborrow, too.

I truly appreciate how much effort u/ehuss puts into maintaining The Rust Reference, considering that documenting stuff is not usually a fun task people want to do. Not to mention that ehuss is also the Cargo team lead, responsible for developing one of the most loved tools in Rust. ehuss's insightful knowledge always ensures that Cargo works without unexpected surprises.

Here is (somewhat long) discussion on the topic with other examples: https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/issues/788

The PR for updating the documentation is here, still under discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1055

thank you this is definitely interesting and i need to read more. For anyone else, this is the thing I found about this issue when I looked it up. It's a github issue about how little documentation there is on the subject and that there should be more. Even the initial post has a lot of interesting details and links. Thanks for bringing it up although sorry it seems your comment went a bit over the heads of some redditors.

⭐ The Rust Reference - repo

For the rust reference, there is an open pull request https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1265/

&mut * is reborrowing which is allowed

Officialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAl-9HwD858&list=PLqbS7AVVErFiWDOAVrPt7aYmnuuOLYvOa The official rust book Rust by example The rust docs Rustlings the most fun way imo

I've opened a PR to add this more prominently to the Conditional Compilation entry in the Rust reference.
