Rust
Bits and pieces of Rust
- To override default toolchain for a particular project:
rustup override set nightly
. The directory is stored in~/.rustup/settings.toml
(inoverrides
section) separately from the project itself. - To print all package dependencies as a nice tree in the command line, we can use
cargo tree
- more details here (works starting from Rust 1.44)
- A good post by Steven Donovan about closures in Rust. It makes the connection between closures and structs, explains why
move |...|
is sometimes needed and why we have to add lifetimes annotations likewhere F: Fn(i32) -> i32 + 'a>
- All the nitty-gritty details are available in the Rust language reference (sections "Closure expressions" and "Closure types").
- "Use conversion traits" part from "Designing elegant APIs in Rust" by Pascal Hertleif (a very insightful post!) (2016)
- "Rust profiling with DTrace and FlameGraph on MacOs" by Carol Nichols, a simple easy to follow reference
- Inferno by Jon Gjengset for producing flame-graphs from process samples. Rust port of flame-graph tools. Its README.md on GitHub has lots of useful information. Btw, there is a 5 hours video stream of how this tool was actually coded live!
- "Rust Tidbits: What is a Lang Item?" - an interesting explanation about traits and other items known to the Rust compiler and marked with
#[lang]
annotation. I really enjoyed this article, but for some reason it was quite hard to google to find it again (perhaps because I googled "traits" and "lang" is not a very googleable term).
