Rust, an acclaimed programming language, has gained significant popularity in recent years. It has not only won the title of “Most Loved Programming Language” for the eighth consecutive year in Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey, but it even received recognition from US President Biden, who proposed a security strategy supporting Rust projects, with a refreshing stance against “non-Rust” projects.
When discussing efficient programming languages, Rust and Go are often mentioned together. Google’s engineering director Lars Bergstrom noted that teams using Rust are twice as productive as those using C++. Many well-known internet and technology companies both domestically and internationally, such as ByteDance’s Lark, Ant Group, Baidu, and Google’s Fuchsia project, are taking action to deeply integrate Rust into their technology stack.
Just as the industry demand goes, the number of Rust-related positions is increasing year by year, and talents with Rust programming skills are becoming increasingly important. However, Rust’s learning curve is considered to be relatively steep, which poses a significant challenge for many. Some might retreat at the beginning stage, feeling overwhelmed by Rust’s challenging syntax. In contrast, those with C++ experience might not think the cost of learning Rust is high.
Although Rust receives much praise, Chinese learning resources are relatively scarce, especially for mastering its advanced features and optimization techniques; self-study might not be the best option. This is why Chen Tian’s “3-hour Rust Bootcamp to Advanced” video course is extremely valuable. Chen Tian is a Rust community member with significant impact in the industry, boasting over 20 years of professional technical accumulation and 8 years of in-depth experience in the Rust language field. He not only analyzed the problems Rust attempts to solve but also covered interoperability with operating systems and other languages, performance optimization, memory leak detection, concurrent programming, web development, and many other practical topics.
In terms of learning materials, besides the video course, there is also a detailed resource package about the future software construction language. This material does not just explore the origins of the Rust language and the design logic behind it but also discusses some important topics:
- Issues with Python and Docker integration
- The advantages of combining Rust with WebAssembly
- The impact of using Rust on infrastructure construction
- The application results of All in Rust in Databend
- The key role of Rust in building Vector Embeddings
- The prospects and current state of Rust with Mojo
- The complementary or integration aspects of Rust with Mojo
In summary, whether you are a beginner or a developer with some background, these abundant learning resources and professional guidance can help everyone to gain a deeper understanding of Rust and smoothly transition technically.
In short, the content is truly rich and solid, you’ll know once you see it. Whether you want to enhance your core competitiveness or prepare for your future career path, I highly recommend learning the Rust programming language.
