  • rescript-compiler

    The compiler for ReScript.

  • However, for application programming I would recommend first learning something like ReScript, which is a very simple language with a powerful type system and it runs in the browser (so you can easily use all the JavaScript libraries). If you later decide to learn Rust, you will be able to use many things you learned in ReScript as they are both based on ML.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    The Rust Programming Language

  • Not really sure what the question pertains to. Rust is a programming language - plain and simple. One of many, in fact. Is it more complicated than some - sure, you have to know your types, learn the rules of the language/platform but that's it. This is true for all programming languages, at least the rules part, not all have static typing. I don't get why according to some Rust, a fully-fledged language with types, structs, methods, templates, etc. is so horrifyingly difficult. If you want to go with Rust read this - https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/. This is all the tutorial that you'll need.
