We run the survey every year, and we plan to do more qualitative tracking of the impacts of this project as well.

We have a whole chapter on error handling in the second edition of The Rust Programming Language[1] that goes into these issues in detail. When we revise chapter 1 (we're doing that chapter last), we're planning on defining what R

How about you lead that effort ;)

Yes we are! There's someone working on Vietnamese [1]. It's a bit blocked on mdbook support [2], but the translation part could start before that's done. Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 6 are effectively "frozen" for print at

We actually had someone say that the new version is so much better than the old book, even though it's incomplete, that it's like a medical trial where the treatment is going so well it'd be unethical to keep people on the pl

Good news! NoStarch will be printing an offline version soon ;) Since we're concentrating on getting the text ready for print, we haven't been able to get pdf/offline reading working yet. https://github.com/ru

You're very welcome! It means a lot to me that the book has helped you so much!! <3

<3 You're welcome! The new revision of the book is using mdbook, which hasn't yet implemented playground support [1]. An RFC has recently been accepted to start the infrastructure of featuring the new book (and other resources)

It is not yet finished, no-- Chapters 15 to the end are merely outlines at this point.

Hmmmm, do you mean that you don't want to put all your `extern crate` statements in the root of your library? If you do that, you don't have to have the `self` when you use items from the crate within your modules. I've never

by carols10cents 10y ago
Hm, I'm still confused about what you're trying to do :-/ If you're trying to use something from tokio_core in your own crate, in neither place will `use self` do that, like you had in your first example... it would be `

by carols10cents 10y ago
Why do you have an `extern crate foo` line inside a module that I'm assuming (because of the `self`) is part of crate foo? You shouldn't need to `extern crate` inside that crate itself. One thing that might be confusing is that `m

I wonder if you'd like the error handling chapter in the new book [1]; it started from a base of burntsushi's blog post but we did rearrange quite a bit. Option is in another chapter now. [1] - http://rust-lang.github.i

Not the OP, but I did a talk on an incremental rewrite of a C library to Rust [1]. Rust has good FFI capabilities with C and other languages through that [2]. [1]- https://github.com/carols10cents/rust-out-your-c-talk

I agree-- you should send in a PR to the docs!

There's Shar Bringer, which is still in progress but is looking like it's gotten way past academic: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust_gamedev/comments/4qlftu/look_o...

I agree with Steve that you'll probably love the "Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists" that he linked to. While not as complex as that, I would like to hear what you think about the slices section in the new ver

Since we both have anecdotes, anecdotes are clearly not going to "solve" this.

Later in this thread, someone even uses it specifically to refer to only men: > The reason I said hostile is that in most discussions on Hacker News and Reddit a lot of people argue that the only reason women are so under-represented in

Using the word "guys" to describe Rust developers is not offensive; it's just incorrect.

Yeah, I love exercism! There's definitely conceptual overlap, but IIRC the exercises in exercism were more of the variety where you're given a problem and you start from scratch, then others give feedback on your solution. I'

Those would be great additions, I'll try to get to them soon!

That's basically my target audience :) It's not comprehensive yet, but the idea is to give you practice with Rust syntax and compiler errors.
