Thanks Bryan! I'm just starting out with Rust and this was a very useful video to get my environment up and running.

It's a pitty that you didn't continued a full Rust course, because you have the good skills for explaining in simple and detailed way, so anybody could understand ! I have no programing background and I want to learn Rust, even though everybody say that I should learn some other programing language, build a knowledge base and then start with Rust. I stick to start with Rust and I think the difficulty of learning Rust comes from the "teachers" who refuse to explain to people like me, with no programing background and they skip a lot of basic and newby important information. So, from what I saw in youre video, you could be the first that have the skills and patient, to explain Rust for "dummies"" ! If you ever are going to make a full Rust tutorial for beginers in programing like me, I would love to watch youre videos ! Also, I already subscribe to your channel, even if you haven't publish for the last 2 years.
Good video, good info, good way of explaining and in detail.. thank you !

Thanks as well, this all works PERIOD, Simples. Followed everything above :), I wasted so much time on the other Rust Extensions that are just buggy and dont work as fluid as this. I now have a working development enironment to start RUST coding, thanks again :)

As far as I understand you have to build and run separately? Is there a way to make it build and run at once?

I have a strange issue with Git bash terminal on my Windows 10 machine. Whenever I am prompted for something, the terminal continues as if I pressed Enter without typing anything. This makes working with terminal impossible, as I can't provide nearly any user input.

This happens when i’m with rust and c++. It strangely does happen with other languages

I did everything exactly like you but the code wont compile and I always get the error message:"linker `link.exe` not found". Could you maybe help me out?

What about to make a Rust tutorial? I'd watch It. And I believe that others would appreciate it too!

Hello, I am a new user of VS code and I have a question: after I create the "launch.json" file and I change the program, I get the following error: launch: "program": does not exist. Do I have to manually create the executable? And if so, how can it be done?

cargo : The term 'cargo' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I was receive this warning

[ranitchatterjee]

Can't we install rust without installing visual studio installer?

[Ian-ebio]

In my case add configuration C++ (Windows) just generates an empty launch.json file.

at first I thought this was a computer voice narrating the video

[Sausytime]

type "cargo new projectName" into the terminal to generate the cargo.toml files and such.
