Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists

This might be a more interesting dive into Rust for those with a fair amount of existing c and/or c++.

I tried it out myself a few years ago. I had fun reliving the nightmare of implementing doubly-linked lists in C back in school! I never made it to the end of the book, though; it got wayyyy more complex around halfway than I could process at the time.

What is a good intro for people with only minor Python experience? 😅

I think The Book is probably good. There are two reading groups happening on twitch but posting and coming out of this community if you’re interested or unaware. I’m happy to provide more links if you like.

If you’re completely unfamiliar with pointers then borrowing will be a steep climb, for which some supplementary materials, discussions online and general practice and time would be indispensable.

In general though, I don’t think one should let that hood them back. IMO, just diving in and hacking while trying to learn as much as you go is probably the best way.

I know, I really want to start contributing to FOSS projects with Code, especially to COSMIC as I think their base is supercool, but the GNOME-like layout sucks a lot. So this would for sure involve first learning all the basics, then iced, then their stuff.

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.

Policies and Purposes

This is a place to learn and work together.

Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.

This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.

This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.
