🖥 Programming Rust - Notes
Raw
programming-rust.md

Chapter 1:

  • "In certain contexts - for example the context Rust is targeting being 10x or even 2x faster than the competition is a make-or-break thing. It decides the fate of a system in the market as much as it would in the hardware market."
  • "All computers are now parallel... Parallel programming is programming"
  • "TrueType parser falw used by nation state attacker for sureillance, all software is security sensitive."

The Rust language makes a simple promise: if your program passes the compilers checks it is free of undefined behaviour.

Chapter 2 - A Tour of Rust

  • Cargo: Rust's compilation manager, package manager and general-purpose tool
  • rustc: Rust Compiler. Let Cargo invoke the compiler
  • rustdoc: Rust documentation tool. If you write documentation in comments of appropiate form, rustdoc can build nicely formatted HTML from them. Like rustc, let cargo run this for us.
