"Rust is as close to the bare metal as you can get." --paperelectron
<ketralnis> Rust is also really phobic of heap allocations […] <Xion> Yes, Rust encourages everyone to be a full stack developer :)
"Rust is like a big bucket of solder and wire, with the promise that you can't electrocute yourself." --frankmcsherry
"Rust is like doing parkour while suspended on strings & wearing protective gear. Yes, it will sometimes look a little ridiculous, but you'll be able to do all sorts of cool moves without hurting yourself." --Ilogiq
"Opening a vortex to Hell is actually safe, but de-referencing anything you pull from the vortex isn't safe." --Steve Klabnik
fn main() { println!("hello, world"); }
fn main() { let one = 1u32; let mut three = 0; three = one + 2; print_number(three); }
struct Point(i32, i32); enum Shape{ Circle{centre: Point}, Rectangle{top_left: Point, bottom_right: Point}, }
fn main() { let obj = Shape::Rectangle{top_left: Point(0,0), bottom_right: Point(0, 0)}; match obj { Shape::Circle{centre: Point(x, y)} => { println!("It's a circle centred at {},{}", x, y) }, Shape::Rectangle{top_left: _, bottom_right: _} => { println!("It's a rectangle, somewhere...") }, _ => println!("It's something else, wait, what?"), } }
"Diagnostics are the UX of a compiler, and so they're deserving of the exact same care that is put into mobile app or Web design." --pcwalton
"The Rust standard libs aren't quite batteries included, but they come with a pile of adaptor cables and an optional chemistry lab." --Gankro
< durka42 > rust has a culture of small crates < XMPPwocky> a Cargo cult, if you will
Rustc is one of the largest Projects on Github
"There is essentially no webpage out there that it cannot get through at multiple hundreds of frames-per-second" -- pcwalton
Rust is a massive step forward in the state of the art. Go use it.
