It can be tricky to find learning resources that is perfectly tailored to the exact point we’re you’re standing right now. Especially if you already have prior experience. But since you’re already familiar with programming, perhaps just dive right in…? I.e. start a new project in Rust. You could do something like Advent of Code, Project Euler or Cryptopals[0]. Or write a simple webserver or whatever you feel like. Don’t forget that ChatGPT can be quite useful for stuff like this. You can use it like a mentor. Just ask it anything you want to, make it show you examples (and then more examples) and so on. The answers might not be correct all of the time, but at least it can give you an idea of what docs to read next. If you’re looking for blog posts, an acquaintance of mine has written some: https://priver.dev/tags/rust/ For more links to c

See also: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust This list is currently far more comprehensive, and it's filled with a lot of high-quality crates for a wide variety of common tasks. I would like to see this list transformed into a navigable website. It'd also be nice to include code samples (eg. I recently had to investigate each test mocking library directly, and a high level summary or comparison would have helped).

Besides the official Rust Lang Book I would also recommend checking out the awesome-rust repo: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust

c2rust https://github.com/immunant/c2rust : > C2Rust helps you migrate C99-compliant code to Rust. The translator (or transpiler), c2rust transpile, produces unsafe Rust code that closely mirrors the input C code. The primary goal of the translator is to preserve functionality; test suites should continue to pass after translation. crust https://github.com/NishanthSpShetty/crust : > C/C++ to Rust transpiler "CRustS: A Transpiler from Unsafe C to Safer Rust" (2022) https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=related:WIDYx_PvgNoJ:sc... rust-bindgen https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/ : Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries nushell/nushell looks like it has cool features and is written in rust. awesome-rust > Applications > System Tools https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#system-tools awesome-rus

Agree, you can see this in https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust vs. https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go I've noticed however that there has been an uptick in great libraries over the last 2 years, with examples like pola.rs, rust-bert, tokenizers etc. starting to build momentum in the ecosystem.

There are curated lists of Rust crates to help with the second issue: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust And those two options don't strike me as equally unattractive. Writing everything that isn't in the standard library from scratch is completely impractical for modern apps. Nobody does that in Rust. Integrating crates from the ecosystem into your workflow is just part of developing in the language.

Have you looked through this list? https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#system-tools . zoxide is one of favorites plus the ones you mentioned.

Is there anything Rust is bad for? I cannot think of one thing. I'm sure that pretty soon now, all software will be rewritten in Rust. It just makes so much sense, it solves all bugs by not having any undefined behavior, it's fast because it doesn't have a GC (all GCs are slow and that's bad), and it's easy to read because there are no implicit behaviors. Look at all of the things Rust can do, in production, at scale, at well-respected companies with serious investors! https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust

I'm not sure where the idea Go hasn't caught on for databases comes from. * https://awesome-go.com/#database * https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#database Rust was invented specifically to write a web browser, so that is a bit of an unfair comparison, but I would suggest that Go's lack of seamless inter-op with C is its biggest limiting factor in integrating into existing browser codebases as well as greenfield GUI applications. Additionally, Go's runtime is not well suited to OS development. I doubt the lack of an advanced optimizing compiler ever crosses anyone's mind as by the time that might become an issue they have already ruled out Go for its many other limitations.

Here's a list of applications written in rust: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#applications People are using rust as they do other general purpose programming languages that have somewhat of a focus on systems programming: to write code. Your question isn't really easy to answer in the same way that someone asking "what are people building with python?" isn't useful. The answer is everything from webpages to text editors to operating systems, and everything in between.

Because it's "reqwest", not "request". All these libraries are very well known within the community and are what I would come up with as a complete outsider (I don't think I've written more than a hundred lines of Rust code to this date). You can also find some pointers here: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust https://lib.rs

I feel like Rust is the most obvious one. I've seen a slew of common Linux tools being rewritten in Rust recently (https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#system-tools).

Too scarce. Obviously missing rustfmt, clippy, and many others. See Development Tools[1] section on Awesome Rust. I would add also a C to Rust conversion tool - c2rust[2]. I hope also Java to Rust converter[3] would become comparable too. [1] https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#development-...
