Learning and teaching Rust has been a big part of me in the last couple of years. Interest in the Rust programming language has brought me to found the Rust Linz meetup with Rainer Stropek, to teach Rust at the local university, and to do a ton of workshops on the topic. It’s a lot of fun! It has introduced me to one of the most welcoming communities. And I love seeing Rust code getting in production and keeping all the promises it gives us. Folks who I’m in contact with through various channels ask me how to best get started with Rust. This article tries to give you an overview.
