Hey!

I'm a professional software engineer with several years of experience using Rust. Unfortunately I don't really have the time to contribute to Lemmy directly myself, but I love teaching other people Rust so if:

  • You are curious about Rust and why you should even learn it
  • You are trying to learn Rust but maybe having a hard time
  • You are wondering where to start
  • You ran into some specific issue

... or anything to do with Rust really, then feel free to ask in the comments or shoot me a PM 🙂

    I started learning rust yesterday, no specific questions, but the language feels weird to me. (background in java, c++, python)

    do you have sources i could read up on to get a thorough understanding. Books, news letters, websites etc?

      C++ knowledge should make it easy to understand Rust. In a lot of ways, the Rust compiler is just enforcing all the stuff you need to do in C++ anyways in order to avoid undefined behaviour.

      I think The Book is fine, that's what I used to learn. You can also learn quite a bit by just reading the standard library documentation, which is very nicely structured.
