Rust 0.9 released

Re:Rust 0.9 released by kibwen on Thursday January 09, 2014 @05:30PM (#7033753)

I was exclusively a Javascript/Python/Java programmer before jumping into Rust. If you're looking to learn a systems language with real bare-metal capabilities, Rust's safety features will go a long way towards keeping you on the straight and narrow as you figure out the concepts essential to low-level programming.

And because Steve seems reluctant to plug his own book, here's Rust for Rubyists, which is an introduction to Rust geared towards users of higher-level programming languages: http://www.rustforrubyists.com/

This reminded me that I needed to actually release the 0.9 update I wrote over the weekend! Thanks :)

Thanks kibwen for the link, and thanks steveklabnik for writing this. I've been interested in Rust and this looks like a nice way to get my feet wet.

You're very welcome. I missed one or two things, so there will be another update this weekend.

It doesn't really require a knowledge of ruby, so you might want to have a look.

From the FAQ on the front page:

Do I have to know Ruby?

Really, I love alliteration: the only thing the 'for Rubyists' really means is that I assume you don't know about pointers, concurrency, or similar things. That's okay, you've never had to think about them before! I explain this stuff in extra depth. If you program in another dynamically typed language, you'll be just fine. If you program in another systems language, you'll be more than fine.
