Rust blog posts

Rust for…

This series of blog posts targets developers who are already proficient in at least one other programming language. Instead of covering basics, I intend to cover the most common “Rust-isms” that people tell me are keeping them from learning the language.

• Lifetimes, and why you shouldn’t care about them
• Why does Rust have so many string types? (and how to cope)
• “The Borrow Checker”
• Borrowing, lifetimes, and async Rust
• References are Copy
• Arc, Rc, and Box
• Ref, RefMut, and RefCell
• Rust’s macros are cooler than yours
• Async vs multithreading, and async runtimes (Send + Sync)
• Auto-traits (like Sized)
• Wine and fine dyning
• Build your own Iterator trait
