# Systems Programming Language
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Compiles to native code.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Aims to solve the same sorts of problems that C and C++ are used to solve but
|
|||
|
|
with improved safety.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Also seeing use in:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Web (front and backend)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Operating systems ([Redox OS][redox])
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Embedded systems (microcontrollers)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

# Runs Blazingly Fast
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* No interpreter, no runtime.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Memory safety without garbage collection.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Zero cost abstractions.

|
# Prevents Segfaults
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* No `nil`, `NULL` or other [billion dollar mistakes][billion-dollar-mistake].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is not a thing. At all. Ever.

# Guarantees Thread Safety
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Strongly, statically typed with an emphasis on safety and correctness.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Ownership model tracks owner and lifetime of memory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* No data races: Compiler knows which thread owns what data.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* This leads to, "[Fearless Concurrency][fearless-concurrency]".

# Strong Static Type System
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Do more at compile time so fewer tests and runtime checks are required.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Concepts mostly familiar. No need to learn an entirely new paradigm.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Traits and generics instead of objects and inheritance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Type inference reduces the need to provide type annotations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Refactor with impunity — even in large code bases.

# Crates
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Rust favours a small, stable standard library.
|
|||
|
|
* Crates are the equivalent of Ruby gems. They are published to
|
|||
|
|
[crates.io](https://crates.io/).

# Community and Direction
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* RFC process.

# Functions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
|
|||
|
|
left + right
|
|||
|

# Conditionals: if
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
let temperature: i32 = 29;
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if temperature > 25 {
|

# Conditionals: match
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Can match structure and values:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
let month = "jan";
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
match month {
|
|||
|
|
"jan" => 1, "feb" => 2,
|
|||
|
|
"mar" => 3, "apr" => 4,
|
|||
|
|
"may" => 5, "jun" => 6,
|
|||
|
|
"jul" => 7, "aug" => 8,
|
|||
|
|
"sep" => 9, "oct" => 10,
|
|||
|
|
"nov" => 11, "dec" => 12,
|
|||
|
|
_ => panic!("invalid month"),
|
|||
|
|
};
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Loops
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
let numbers = [1, 2, 3];
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
for i in numbers.iter() {
|
|||
|
|
// do something
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
for i in 0..10 {
|
|||
|
|
// do something
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also less frequently used commonly used `loop` and `while`.

for d in data {

|
|
|

You pay _no cost_ for using the higher level style, it compiles to identical
|
|||
|
|
machine code (I checked).

# enums
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Type that represents one possibility of several variants. Variants may optionally
|
|||
|
|
carry data.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
enum SerialProtocol {
|
|||
|
|
Usb,
|
|||
|
|
Rs485,
|
|||
|
|
Rs232,
|
|||
|
|
I2C,
|
|||
|
|
Spi,
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# structs
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Type that carries structured data.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
struct Person {
|
|||
|
|
name: String,
|
|||
|
|
age: i32,
|
|||
|
|
favourite_serial_protocol: SerialProtocol,
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
impl Person {
|
|||
|
|
fn name_and_age(&self) -> String {
|
|||
|
|
format!("{} is {} years old", self.name, self.age)
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Option
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Instead of `nil` and `NULL` there is `Option`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Used to represent something that may be absent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
enum Option<T> {
|
|||
|
|
Some(T),
|
|||
|
|
None
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Result
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When something can succeed or fail with an error.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* There are no exceptions in Rust, `Result` is how you handle errors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```rust
|
|||
|
|
enum Result<T, E> {
|
|||
|
|
Ok(T),
|
|||
|
|
Err(E)
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|

Demo
|
|||
|
|
====
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Small tool that will determine a file's type from its extension:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```shell
|
|||
|
|
filetype src/main.rs somefile.rb
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Should give output like:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
Rust: src/main.rs
|
|||
|
|
Ruby: src/somefile.rb
|
|||
|
|
```
