@@vishalbiswa1110 After I dropped out of school, I basically self taught myself programming for like 6 years. done some projects like helping to develop a MMORPG Server backend (non professionally ofc) which we later rewrote in rust and an barebones Operating System kernel.

Thank you so much for the feature, @letsgetrusty! We love Rust for many reasons - especially its performance, safety, and concurrency. The ecosystem and community are also fantastic! Thanks again, Let’s Get Rusty!
I’m using Rust: a client of mine has decided to switch the backend (Industry, automation) from c++ to Rust. Very happy about the results and performance.
Started rust a few weeks ago, not because of the jobs or anything. I just want to get familiar with a systems language since all I've been doing are languages like kotlin, Python and some Golang
in start of 23 I had to pick up Golang for a course on Distributed systems. Jumping from something like Python to Go was hard but helped quite a bit! Now learning Rust and im ready to take some of this beating from it!
One of the side effects of learning Rust is starting to get upset at other languages over design decisions. Cargo is such an easy to use package manager that I started to hate pip and virtual environments in Python 😆
Дякую Богдане! I use RUST for scientific computing in the fields of chemical thermodynamics, combustion modeling, chemical kinetics modeling and so on. Hope it will be more popular in scientific computing. It is far more pleasant and satisfing to write physical and chemical problems on RUST than on cpp!

Rust is a good language that makes learning other languages look like toys. Rust by Example is a very good material and with a detailed explanation. My only problem is Job opportunities for some of us that live outside of the US. For instance, I live in Nigeria so, it is either I am using Rust for a personal DIY projects or nothing. I am eager to find a Remote Rust Job to challenge my skills.
I'm currently learning it just for the sake of learning about different types of language than I know (js, php), but if Rust positions open then why not. Great video!
the thing that kept me from learning low level languages were the infamous pointers. Turns out its really not complex at all. A handful of months ago I chose Rust as my first LLL and I am really happy with it. Sometimes I do encounter a lot of head scratchers like dereferencing for example. This happens because I am "self taught", working in a team as your job will exponentially grow your skill. Problem is you WILL need to be able to write async Rust and I've never written a single async line of Rust and I've heard stories....
Quick hack for skipping a big chunk of the async learning curve: Use tokio as your async runtime, and the “async_trait” crate for async traits. Treat these as part of the Rust standard library. They might as well be. Until you’re deep in the async weeds, you don’t need to know why Rust leaves an async runtime out of the standard library, or which runtime is right for you. Tokio is a good default. As far as async traits, the language isn’t totally ready for them. There is working being done to make them easier to use. In the meantime, however, just use the crate. The crate does what the standard library eventually wants to do.
@@funkdefied1 first of all thanks for the advice, but for the meantime I will just avoid coding async. Thats not an issue since most of my programs dont do expensive stuff like HTTP requests (yet). I am aware of Tokio and it's probably necessary anyways, cuz I dont see how a LLL would otherwise accomplish async functionality with a keyword. I am very familiar with C#'s amazing async / await and its done via a state machine and the runtime. So it makes sense Rust needs one too. for now I put async and multi threaded Rust as advanced features I will deal with later on, I have a ton of other stuff to understand first, which catches me off guard sometimes and I dont just wanna fill in what the compiler says, I want to understand why. Async will be somewhat annoying anyway due to its lazy nature in rust....
0:20 I don't have a Rust job, but I use rust where it makes sense. I work in a small company. We mainly work on some game in Unity. But sometimes I can still use Rust for simple scripts. Or for some side projects.
I don't have that much experience with Rust yet, but compared to languages I used before (Haskell and OCaml mostly) Rust's maintability is debatable. It's true that a static type-checker with a solid type system to work with improves maintanability by orders of magnitude and compared to most mainstream languages Rust type system is nothing short of awesome (not so awesome when compared to Haskell or OCaml, though). That said Rust can be annoyingly inflexible. For example you can't abstract over type of reference you require for your function (mutable vs immutable). Polymorphism becomes challenging as soon as you try to do anything beyond what classes in OOP languages can typically do. On top of this, Rust has macros, and boy, nothing obscures and obfuscates the code like macro abuse.
as a pentester and malware developer, rust was pretty easy to get a poc up and working. took a bit of face rolling to get a dll to work but the ntapi crate makes it super easy to directly call functions. offensive security oriented repositories have tons of samples too, more so than other less common system programming languages like nim or zig. writing malware in rust is going to boom. sure it has its downfalls but i think theres a lot of good things in sight.
i come from python environment, and started learning rust about 2 weeks ago. First it didn’t sense to me, like reading ancient script but then i started to understand Result and Option which are really useful and things are getting better now
I used to be a professional C++ developer (15+ years of exp), currently working as a JS/TS React developer for a top 10 company, and I thought I'd learn Rust, because in my opinion any computer science graduate needs to know an actual low level language, so I'm choosing Rust as a replacement for the aging C/C++.
I'm using JS/TS for around 4/5 years but feel I need to learn a lower level language to fill in the gaps of how a computer works, so many opinions out there but my gut is telling me to go with Rust, any opinions, thanks!
Fullstack developer here, used typescript for near 4 years, now I have started using Rust for about a year ago. I must say it is very good , specially the ownership model is the selling point. Also used in LLMs and it works like charm. And thanks to you it was on your channel two years ago you said nobody uses rust but they will, guess what now everyone uses it. Prohecy went true.
2:00 I don't agree on that. Not all new software should be written in Rust. I still have some library I wrote in C, which I wrote after Rust became one of my default languages. At that time, there was a second low level language, way more powerful than Rust, but less memory safe and without orphan rules, which could become one of the greatest languages if it was more like Rust (it already has a borrow checker, just like the second generation Rust borrow checker), especially when it comes to some kind of orphan rules. So since I wanted this library to be some kind of default library which can be used everywhere, I decided to just use C. I also wrote a safe Rust wrapper for it.
- Do you make hardware? - Do you buy hardware? - Do you make popular libraries or other highly cloned code (the same lines of code running on insane numbers of systems)? If so then rust is a good option to consider. If not you probably shouldn't be using it, as it is easier to lower resource cost through other means.
I've more or less converted my coding job from PHP and Perl to Rust. I work in a telco and we use a lot of backend jobs for telephony configuration, micro billing calculations, batch processing etc..Much of it is a high volume of records, with some databases having billions of records, growing with tens of thousands every hour. I adopted Rust initially because of a particularly heavy task where I had to do a set of calculations for everyone of our mobile subscribers. Rust could do this much, much faster and a lot more memory efficient than PHP or Perl (another language we use). In the process I discovered that Rust is just really nice to develop in compared to PHP and Perl, so now most of the new projects I'm involved with are being developed in Rust.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 true. It's extremely painful and hands down the worst. Adding insult to injury, the guy who coded most of the code I've inherited neglected to impose any real structure to the code. Functions spanning hundreds of lines, variable names often only two or three characters, generous use of global variables, absolutely zero testing, hard coded credentials, you get the point.
@@daniel29263 lol nope. Billions of lines of proven and well tested legacy code will not be rewritten any time soon. The Rust Foundation will also inevitably pull a Red Hat or Redis Labs at one point and cause any serious user to switch away from Rust because who wants to use a language with tons of internal drama?
I want the jobs to be available, but I don't want the competition from other programmers haha. Still, the second part seems hard to avoid, since the development experience is so good.
A friend of mine was working for Ubisoft on a rust project, but I don't think she ever told me what it was, and I don't think that she could, or if she still worked for them
I'm taking an Operating Systems class and it's being taught in Rust and not C anymore. I don't know how make other Universities are doing the same thing, but it's very likely newer graduates will be much more familiar with Rust than C over the next decade.
Only problem for now is for most of the people watching this channel; 95% of these available positions are for seniors. Most positions cite 3+ years of hands-on Rust experience from my research. Of course, you don't always need 100% of the requirements that are being set, but it is pretty hard starting as a graduate or developer without professional Rust experience. It's the classic chicken and egg story. I think with more adoption in the future two things will happen: 1. Once companies have Rust teams set-up and running for a while, they will start looking for more junior devs 2. Once Rust gets adopted more in industries, education will adapt as well (although I suspect this will take a long while still)
5th year of being jobless after convincing myself to mainly use RUST instead of C/C++. (There aren't enough jobs for RUST compared to other languages). It is also not used as much. Maybe after another 5 to 10 years, they will completely rewrite code bases in Rust to replace C/C++.
I feel your pain. I’m longtime jobless too. Age is now a factor I suspect, even for a freelancer. But plugging away with Rust and other things nonetheless.
Last time I looked at Polars, a lot of the documentation for Rust was out of date, and most of their working examples were for Python. I wonder if they've improved on that now.
Unironically people struggling with the borrow checker really have skill issues. The ownership rules are simple and you should already apply them in other languages as well. Yes you are allowed to pass multiple mutable references all over the place in Java but it doesn't mean that you should do it. Ever heard about immutable objects and how safe they are in Java? Probably but you rarely use them because? Skill issues Find me a java developer that introduces mutability ONLY when it's necessary... If you are really experienced in programming, you will never fight with the borrow checker. Rethink your design choices if you run into issues with the borrow checker.

I'm looking for a Swift programmer for ongoing API development and maintenance over the long term. Familiarity with Swift's async/await concurrency model is a must. Can a Rust programmer make the leap to Swift?
@@abc_cba it's very specific to write a driver for a single GPU, and also no, the Nvidia driver is not written in Rust. I'm starting to think this is some kind of meme that flew over my head.
I'm familiar with some Rust concepts such as mutability and borrowing, and I plan to learn Rust thoroughly next year, insha Allah. Currently, I am quite satisfied with Go.
I use in backend web in my company, a lot of good upsides, but lately it is getting anoying how many problems appear when doing simples things and how long it takes for compile
If you have a good enough portfolio of Rust projects, ignore their experience request. Its just their guess and a good company will value the proof of working projects over the guess that someone with "3 years of experience" is a good enough rust programmer.
May I ask how rust is used partially? I can't wrap my had around how for example Linux is part c/c++ part rust. I understand that C can easily compile to bin and then be used as a bin file, but rust a bit a more complicated.
I'm seeing people comment on moving from high to low level language. See it ain't that hard as you make it. It's hard but y nt tht much. As long as you understand fundamentals, ie, algorithms, pseudocodes and flow charts, the rest comes a bit easy. It's same logic different syntax. Bt I'd advice anyone to start with c# first, then you can dive into any other language
self taught here , I start with Python and now learning rust , I want to use it for finance ( HFT ) , anyone here ? , is Rust good for beginners like me ?
This is not a knock on you at all, but you seem a little new to English. If you want to stand out, learn how to correctly use English punctuation. Try to emulate the punctuation of native speakers/writers. This goes for all manner of speaking and writing in English. Try to sound like you are from the US and you’ll get a lot more job opportunities and help from English-speakers abroad. Good communication beats coding skills every day so it’s worth investing your time to improve.
This is why I moved away from the JS ecosystem to Rust. Rust may have way fewer jobs but is being used in fields that I care about. If I need something higher level I just use Python with types.
The thing that irks me the most about this trend, regardless of whether it's here to stay or not, is all of the lies that keep being told about Rust and C++. Since you brought up idiomatic code patterns, modern idiomatic C++, which in its current form has existed since before Rust had even been started as a project, yields memory safety equal to Rust, which is to say it's not 100% coverage as you claim. Switching languages because most developers are garbage will lead to more problems than solutions, but it doesn't help that Rust is uglier than C++. It only makes it worse that the real primary source of errors is a lack of checking user input and Rust won't force you to do that, not that any language should force you to do anything specific as it relates to solving any problems because forcing a singular pattern of solution leads to either future breaking changes or a requirement that you swap languages yet again. The biggest problem facing the industry is that people aren't forced to learn good techniques nor are they taught how to think critically and are instead forced down singular paths. Quite frankly, I'm also sick of the extensive bloat that every new language seems to bring with it. In Rust's case it is quite significant. I think from now on, I may start every project in C, since it gets lied about the most by Rustaceans.
@@RustIsWinning Yeah, you can solve temporal memory problems in C++, and it's C++ not C/C++ which isn't a language at all. Believe it or not, and you probably don't know enough of either to understand it, but C and C++ are two separate languages and barely have enough in common these days to associate with each other.
@@RustIsWinning you stink to desperation. But don't you worry, as soon as you try haskell you will change your profile name to haskelliswinning and you will fanatically start attacking those pesky devs that prefer rust over haskell. LOL.
@@RustIsWinning of course you never tried haskell. You are not a developer and appart from "hello world" you have never developed a real application. So, stop pretending.
@@RustIsWinning sure thing, little girl. I'm not the one pretending to be a dev. Only because you know how to use chatgpt to write a hello world in rust, it doesn't makes you a dev.

@@kevinmcfarlane2752 true. It's extremely painful and hands down the worst. Adding insult to injury, the guy who coded most of the code I've inherited neglected to impose any real structure to the code. Functions spanning hundreds of lines, variable names often only two or three characters, generous use of global variables, absolutely zero testing, hard coded credentials, you get the point.
You know Ready At Dawn was shutdown last week right?
I hope rust gets more popular!
It will. The world is written In C today, in a decade it will be written in Rust.
@@daniel29263 Either that or Zig.
@@daniel29263 lol nope. Billions of lines of proven and well tested legacy code will not be rewritten any time soon. The Rust Foundation will also inevitably pull a Red Hat or Redis Labs at one point and cause any serious user to switch away from Rust because who wants to use a language with tons of internal drama?
I want the jobs to be available, but I don't want the competition from other programmers haha. Still, the second part seems hard to avoid, since the development experience is so good.
@@daniel29263 I don't personally see this happening. Especially in embedded environments. Things move so slow. More like 25-50 years.
the built in package manager and bootstrapping is reason enough.

Good to hear about this , I am learning Rust and also bought a book for it
Been learning rust on/off. Really like it! I plan on potentially using it at work when the time is right cause node projects age like milk…
A friend of mine was working for Ubisoft on a rust project, but I don't think she ever told me what it was, and I don't think that she could, or if she still worked for them
Hey Bro, hope you are doing good. You look tired. Great content again. Thanks for all your work. Keep going.
I'm taking an Operating Systems class and it's being taught in Rust and not C anymore. I don't know how make other Universities are doing the same thing, but it's very likely newer graduates will be much more familiar with Rust than C over the next decade.
as a business owner, i can proudly say we use and love rust!!
Awesome!
Only problem for now is for most of the people watching this channel; 95% of these available positions are for seniors. Most positions cite 3+ years of hands-on Rust experience from my research. Of course, you don't always need 100% of the requirements that are being set, but it is pretty hard starting as a graduate or developer without professional Rust experience. It's the classic chicken and egg story.
I think with more adoption in the future two things will happen:
1. Once companies have Rust teams set-up and running for a while, they will start looking for more junior devs
2. Once Rust gets adopted more in industries, education will adapt as well (although I suspect this will take a long while still)
Yep, I’ve found this. IIRC I got rejected for one job in about ten minutes! 😮
I had learned mern stack and want to learn new things what should I chose for backend golang rails, rust

Thanks for this, enough motivation to learn rust!
Thank you for the market analysis. 👍
Lucky to be able to help build delivery drones using mostly Rust now a days!
Which company ?
5th year of being jobless after convincing myself to mainly use RUST instead of C/C++. (There aren't enough jobs for RUST compared to other languages). It is also not used as much. Maybe after another 5 to 10 years, they will completely rewrite code bases in Rust to replace C/C++.
I feel your pain. I’m longtime jobless too. Age is now a factor I suspect, even for a freelancer. But plugging away with Rust and other things nonetheless.
Last time I looked at Polars, a lot of the documentation for Rust was out of date, and most of their working examples were for Python. I wonder if they've improved on that now.
Nah, the hardest thing in the world is me, after the borrow checker tells me I have skill issues 40 different times in one instance
pause
Borrow checker is easy. Find and fix a mem leak is tough.
Unironically people struggling with the borrow checker really have skill issues.
The ownership rules are simple and you should already apply them in other languages as well.
Yes you are allowed to pass multiple mutable references all over the place in Java but it doesn't mean that you should do it.
Ever heard about immutable objects and how safe they are in Java? Probably but you rarely use them because? Skill issues
Find me a java developer that introduces mutability ONLY when it's necessary...
If you are really experienced in programming, you will never fight with the borrow checker.
Rethink your design choices if you run into issues with the borrow checker.
@@vanov88 well, I am a newbie in programming so it's fine, I think? My main problem, tbh, is I have terrible working memory and also struggle with following plans💀 but I'll get gud eventually
Rust with AWS experience is a very good idea. Many companies want to cut costs by refactoring existing code to Rust.

Can you use Rust with Framework made in other languages, like OpenCV, Vulkan, DirectX or Pytorch?
If the library/framework has a C API, yes. Rust supports the C ABI, so Rust bindings can be made for any library/framework that has a C API.

Mistake at 3:23 - Ethereum does NOT use rust for smart contract development, it uses Solidity.
I use in backend web in my company, a lot of good upsides, but lately it is getting anoying how many problems appear when doing simples things and how long it takes for compile
"AAA game studios use Rust" is a strong argument for me
What about web development, like web api's and microservices?
Grok uses googles jax for training and rust (probably candle) for inference and backend
But rust jobs experience criteria is like min 3-4 years making it not suitable for just pass out university 😢
If you have a good enough portfolio of Rust projects, ignore their experience request. Its just their guess and a good company will value the proof of working projects over the guess that someone with "3 years of experience" is a good enough rust programmer.
should i learn RUST or ZIG??? Please help.
May I ask how rust is used partially? I can't wrap my had around how for example Linux is part c/c++ part rust. I understand that C can easily compile to bin and then be used as a bin file, but rust a bit a more complicated.
why rust when theres C and C++?
Last time I checked Near was also built I rust, not just it's smart contracts.
If I want to create a simple project using Rust, do I need to know about lifetime?
How can I get a Rust Job as a final year fresher in Bachelors in CSE ? Any tips ?
In a sentence: Rust can be found where C is used or would be used.
It isn't, for example, covering web development except niche cases
Smart Contract development in Ethereum is using Solidity, not Rust. Reth is developed by Rust.
Does it have object oriented features?
3. Maintainability is still unproven. Refactoring lifetimes is not easy.
The only rust use cases I have heard of in ethereum is mainly for ethereum clients not smart contracts
I'm seeing people comment on moving from high to low level language. See it ain't that hard as you make it. It's hard but y nt tht much. As long as you understand fundamentals, ie, algorithms, pseudocodes and flow charts, the rest comes a bit easy. It's same logic different syntax. Bt I'd advice anyone to start with c# first, then you can dive into any other language
I just love to write CLI tools for my needs.

Please make a video about Zig!
Many people say that Zig does "things" better than Rust.
Nice research
self taught here , I start with Python and now learning rust , I want to use it for finance ( HFT ) , anyone here ? , is Rust good for beginners like me ?
This is not a knock on you at all, but you seem a little new to English. If you want to stand out, learn how to correctly use English punctuation. Try to emulate the punctuation of native speakers/writers. This goes for all manner of speaking and writing in English. Try to sound like you are from the US and you’ll get a lot more job opportunities and help from English-speakers abroad. Good communication beats coding skills every day so it’s worth investing your time to improve.
Hey bro I would love to learn rust frameworks from this channel If you could do that it would be helpful
Amazing video

is there any job seat for freshers tho?
This is why I moved away from the JS ecosystem to Rust. Rust may have way fewer jobs but is being used in fields that I care about. If I need something higher level I just use Python with types.

C and C++ are high-level languages.
The thing that irks me the most about this trend, regardless of whether it's here to stay or not, is all of the lies that keep being told about Rust and C++. Since you brought up idiomatic code patterns, modern idiomatic C++, which in its current form has existed since before Rust had even been started as a project, yields memory safety equal to Rust, which is to say it's not 100% coverage as you claim. Switching languages because most developers are garbage will lead to more problems than solutions, but it doesn't help that Rust is uglier than C++. It only makes it worse that the real primary source of errors is a lack of checking user input and Rust won't force you to do that, not that any language should force you to do anything specific as it relates to solving any problems because forcing a singular pattern of solution leads to either future breaking changes or a requirement that you swap languages yet again. The biggest problem facing the industry is that people aren't forced to learn good techniques nor are they taught how to think critically and are instead forced down singular paths. Quite frankly, I'm also sick of the extensive bloat that every new language seems to bring with it. In Rust's case it is quite significant. I think from now on, I may start every project in C, since it gets lied about the most by Rustaceans.
@@RustIsWinning Yeah, you can solve temporal memory problems in C++, and it's C++ not C/C++ which isn't a language at all. Believe it or not, and you probably don't know enough of either to understand it, but C and C++ are two separate languages and barely have enough in common these days to associate with each other.
@@RustIsWinning you stink to desperation. But don't you worry, as soon as you try haskell you will change your profile name to haskelliswinning and you will fanatically start attacking those pesky devs that prefer rust over haskell. LOL.
@@RustIsWinning of course you never tried haskell. You are not a developer and appart from "hello world" you have never developed a real application. So, stop pretending.
@@RustIsWinning sure thing, little girl. I'm not the one pretending to be a dev. Only because you know how to use chatgpt to write a hello world in rust, it doesn't makes you a dev.
@@RustIsWinning keep saying that. You're not fooling anyone.
