As someone who has just spent the last 15 minutes escaping to HN from Rust due to reference errors, this was amazingly useful and actually helped me fix the error I was getting.
- gamegoblin 9y agoIf you ever find yourself stuck for too long, drop a code snippet into https://play.rust-lang.org/ https://play.rust-lang.org/ and share a link to the code in IRC channel at #rust or #rust-beginners (irc.mozilla.org). Very friendly community.
- gjtorikian 9y agoI second this. I asked a bunch of dumb questions on IRC, Reddit, and the forums and every single time the responses were so patient and helpful. I work at GitHub and I’ve been telling people that for the future of open source we really ought to be looking at the Rust community, both the amount of automation they have and also their general communication style.
- CleanCut 9y agoYay! I start at Github on Dec 5th, and I'm a huge Rust enthusiast.
- gkaemmer 9y agoFunny, I just had the exact same experience. Had been fixing compiler errors by adding lifetimes to my structs instead of boxing the values. I need a good reference on the right way to un-learn certain C concepts to make learning Rust concepts easier.
