I started with rust 6 months ago and I wont be stopping anytime soon. I learned to code in c++ but till recently I did all my work in JS. Having the c++ background made learning rust a lot easier and learning rust probably also made me a better c++ programmer. I didn't have the confidence to use c++ in production but Rust has given me the confidence to tap into the benefits of using a general lower level languages and really level up my skills. But anybody that says c++ is deprecated doesn't know what their talking about xD

Rust on Windows, as well as the Linux Kernel, is highly recommended to master

I've been working in Rust for a year now. No language has better ergonomics or tooling than Rust, and you will not regret the effort you put in to learning it!

I think even bigger selling point, I had with rust is that it is really nice to work with than most other languages.

Guess it's time to finally crack open a Rust book...

[FunkyELF]

Cool, but can they get spell check working on MS Teams?

"You are PARTIALLY right at 5:17 when you said, "In my opinion no one should be looking anywhere else to learn Rust before working one — maybe two — times through the Rust book. There's really no shortcut; it's all there in the book."

Yes, if you already know how to code in some language, then you should look to the Rust book to start learning Rust.

However, trainers are massively overlooking a lucrative opportunity that (so far) no one is serving well at all: universities. Rust is not too hard to learn for a first language, and many universities would be teaching it as a first language if they had decent materials to teach with.

Before you criticize, I work in IT at a major university, and we recognize the emergence and importance of Rust. We also think it's dumb to require students to learn another language so they can throw it away and then learn Rust. Moving through Rust slowly and intelligently, universities could be graduating people with Rust proficiencies. 

The person who creates a great Rust-as-a-first-language curriculum will enjoy steady revenue semester after semester for a very long time.

As someone who came from js/py/go to Rust, a lot of Rust concepts didn't click until I learned Zig. The everything-is-explicit nature of Zig (no hidden control flow or allocations) helped me better understand stack- and heap-related concepts that are otherwise abstracted away by higher-level languages

Yes, I hear there’s a supply chain problem making spare time hard to come by. I can’t find any for sale anywhere.

Rust has a higher-than-average barrier to entry and generally requires a higher-than-average developer knowledge. Plus the fact that it's not necessarily a mature language and has use cases that are better supported than others. All this to say Rust should be used when necessary, but sparingly. Where another language like Go is more appropriate, it should be used. In short, Rust is not the end all, be all.

What about Q#? I wonder how Q# is going to affect the development of OSs.

[LengCPP]

I just started learning c/c++ will program with it for at least 2 years before I pick up something with as steep a learning curve. At this moment I do everything in either python/JS. I like the high level langauges.

[cody_codes_youtube]

I’ve hated on Rust for years now. However… this is a signal that would change my mind. I’m also an old man when it comes to new languages. Until there are real time jobs demanding those frameworks or languages, I usually ignore them. This is cool to hear

[Mike----]

I’m currently on chapter 7 of The Rust Programming Language book. It’s well worth the time to read. I have some exposure to Java, C, and C++. Of the three I like C++ the most and Java the least. As I’ve been learning Rust I get the impression that hard lessons learned from other languages were deeply considered. The result is a very clever language that makes me feel more confident and eager to learn more. The future of programming will certainly include a prominent place for Rust. No doubt.

Interesting to see Microsoft concerned about memory usage.

[RazgrizDuTTA]

I am near the end of my PhD in mechanical engineering and I want to pivot into software development after that. I want to learn Rust but there is no Rust job in my country. There are C++ jobs but it feels like investing my time learning C++ is the wrong move for the future.

[JimRohn-uc]

So do we still need to learn C/C++ before learning Rust?

[colinmaharaj]

3:40 They are saying they are moving away from C/C++ but the job ad suggest they are moving away from C# ?

[Light]

So will rust replace C\C++ and i am in learning c should i stop and start rust any advice

[NanMK_Old]

They really need to add rust to Visual Studio
