A new day. No Rust thread?

>>59644058
good thread

>>59644058
Fuck man, Rust needs a lot of typing and the book is scaring me

>String::from("A string");
Really?

>>59644855

Rust is a meme. Try implementing a graph data structure in Rust.

>>59645041
And?

>>59645041
Just werks. Your point?

>>59644855
This creates a dynamic (heap-allocated) string from a static (text segment) string.

>>59644855
Rust is a systems language so strings can't be so simple. It's similar to the problem in C++ with const char* and std::string.
&str in Rust is like the const char* in C++ and std::String in Rust is like the std::string in C++.
std::String owns the string memory, &str don't.

Rust is definitely the best language. Too bad it doesn't have lisp syntax, live reloading and debugging.

>>59646726
How does a language have those things?

>>59647411
By being a lisp implementation.

>>59647504
Why on earth would you want to be a lisp implementation?

Have you seen the syntax?
Go fuck yourself Rustshill

Elixir/Erlang is superior

>>59649953
Gotards everybody

>>59644855
If you did HtDP book you'd know what a function signature is and thus this syntax would be completely familiar.

>>59649953
Syntax isn't particularly bad compared to the equivalent languages (Java, C++).

Unfortunately that is the case. It doesn't write bare metal shit but the JVM is more portable than a lot of C/C++ code.
