I think this is really the year to start learning Rust 🦀. Rust has been named the most loved language for the seventh year in a row, with 87% of developers expressing a desire to continue using it1.
As quoted from fireflowers2:
Rust is a systems programming language that is perhaps most notable for being memory safe without garbage collection.
As a Linux enthusiast, I was thrilled to hear that a pull request for the implementation of Rust in Linux was approved by Torvalds for Linux 6.134.
Where should you start learning Rust? I believe the official book, “The Rust Programming Language”5, available in the Rust documentation6, will answer all your questions 😉.
Additionally, there’s something special to note while writing this article: the release7 of the “Comprehensive Rust” book by the Android team at Google. You can read it online8.
Lastly, try running this code to get a joke from the Rust internal compiler 😂.
fn main() {
break rust;
}
