100 Days of Rust : Day 0

Posted on in rust, learning, programming language

In this new year, I have decided to learn rust

All my recent experience has been in dynamic languages (90% python, 10% ruby)

But I started my software development career in C, and did that for probably 10 years. So I’m not new to compiled languages.1 But things have changed a lot (for the better) in these years.

Additionally, rust is getting a lot of attention from bigwigs like MS.

On Day 0, I set up the rust tool chain and went through the Hello world program.

Nothing much, but at least got started.

  1. I came across some youtube video explaining rust to JS programmers, and it started with “Program needs to be compiled before it is executed 😄” ↩︎
