Learn the Core Concepts and Essential Grammar of the Rust Programming Language in One Book!
The legend has it that Rust was born from C++ father and Haskell mother. Well, we just made that up. But, once you start using Rust, you will most likely agree with that statement. Rust was undoubtedly influenced by many different programming languages including imperative languages like C#, Go, and Python and functional languages like Lisp, F#, and Scala, among many others. But, Rust is ultimately a hybrid language built from C/C++ and OCaml/Haskell.
If you are experienced with one or the other lineage, or both, then you will feel right at home with Rust. It will be pretty easy for you to learn and use. On the flip side, if you don’t have much experience with either side, then Rust will be a rather difficult language for you. You should ask yourself why you want to learn and use Rust before embarking on this (potentially long) journey of "oxidation". To put it bluntly, Rust is not for everyone.
Rust is a paradox. Although it was originally created to be a low-level systems programming language, it includes many high-level constructs, largely influenced by functional programming languages. At the risk of oversimplification, a programming language can be classified into one of two categories. There are languages, on the one hand, that handle memory management on behalf of the programmers, for example, by providing some kind of garbage collection implementations. These languages are generally considered more high level.
This book is a mini language reference on the Rust programming language. We go through all essential features of Rust 2021 Edition (and some newer language features) in this book. Rust is one of the most powerful languages, originally created for low-level systems programming. Rust is now widely used in other areas as well, such as Web application and Web Assembly development. Rust is, in fact, one of the most popular/loved languages among developers. (And yet, it is one of the most difficult programming languages to learn.)
This book is specifically written for:
Experienced programmers who are relatively new to Rust and want to get a broad and high-level picture of the Rust language, or
Beginning Rust programmers who have some real hands-on experience with Rust and want to learn various fundamental concepts in idiomatic Rust programming.
That is, if you have some prior experience with Rust or other similar languages like C/C++ or OCaml/Haskell, etc., then this book is for you. This book is, however, ultimately a language reference (as in "syntax and semantics"), and it is not intended for complete beginners.
