teach-rs VS rust

Rust 101 is pretty good as well. The more the merrier!

Unluckily the English version of the course used C++, only the Italian version was in Rust. However, online you can find a bunch of other valid alternatives, such as https://github.com/tweedegolf/101-rs

How cool! I'm currently running a Rust course as well. It's open source: tweedegolf/101-rs (I guess everyone thinks Rust 101 is a good name ;) ). It's currently a bit early days, but after running the course once, I'll work on making the material reusable.

As part of the Rust 101 Course that is being made to facilitate universities in teaching Rust, I am researching what would be needed to have a module that would introduce people to the basics of programming at the same time as learning Rust syntax. Rust is not a mature language when it comes to teaching it as a first language, and therefore not much material exists in this area. Therefore, I wanted to see if any people are learning / have learned Rust as their first language. Or whether there are Rustaceans coming from the high-level untyped programming world, who would like to share some experience when it comes to learning Rust.

I'm very happy to share that I've received a grant from the Rust Foundation to work on Rust 101: a modular, reusable university course introducing the Rust programming language. It's still early days, but be sure to have a look at our GitHub repo and let me know what you think!

You are responding to one of the key developers of Rust early on[1], who's been working with the language for 14 years at that point.

[1] https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/graphs/contributors?from=2... and he's still #16 in commits overall today, despite almost no activity on the rust compiler since 2014.

If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

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

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.

> 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.
