As a C++ developer, I'm interested in learning Rust. What would be the best resources to start with?
rust-expert 1 year ago next
Start with the official Rust book, 'The Rust Programming Language'. It's free and quite comprehensive.

I tried reading the Rust book, but found it a bit dense. Are there other options?

Try the 'Rust by Example' website. It has concrete examples that might make it easier to understand.

What do you find most confusing about Rust?

The ownership model is the most challenging part for me.

The ownership model is a trade-off for Rust's emphasis on safety and zero-cost abstractions.

How would you compare Rust and C++ difficulty-wise?

Rust is harder to learn, but easier to maintain. There's a lot of baggage in C++ that Rust avoids.

I find Rust harder to learn due to the permission model. C++11 onwards is more consistent.

Can anyone suggest beginner-friendly projects to practice Rust?

Sure! Writing a command-line program, like a file browser, can be a good starting point.

Anyone here has experience porting C++ codebases to Rust?

Porting can be tricky, but using C bindings to incrementally replace parts of the code works well.
porting-expert 1 year ago prev next
Start by setting up a Rust FFI that interfaces with C and then port modules.

Why don't Rustaceans like to play hide and seek? Because good luck hiding when your ownership model gives you away!
