Rust: What I learnt so far
Rust is an open-source programming language being developed mostly by Mozilla. It’s goal is the type of applications currently written in C++ (such as Firefox). Details at the Rust Wikipedia page. I’ve been learning bits of it the past few days, and whilst Rust is still rough around the edges there’s a lot to enjoy. Rust is only at v0.7pre and changing daily, so you may have to adjust some of the code here.
