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 🙂
Are there resources to learn rust as first language? I’ve read some time ago that the best path was still “how to think like a computer scientist” and then switching to the rust books
Unfortunately there’s not really anything to teach it as the first language. But I think it’s still possible if you want
wouldn’t it be possible to just ‘‘translate’’ and adapt ‘‘how to think etc’’ in rust? or the famous c book of whose name i don’t remember right now lol
If you know C or C++, you would have an easier time learning Rust, I would say. But I think it would be easier to learn Rust from the start instead of learning C or C++ first, then Rust. But it depends on the person probably. I would say try Rust by Example if you’re looking for something more practical maybe (I haven’t tried it, just heard about it).
