Introduction

A guide to Rust from a node.js developer’s perspective.

Welcome to our 24-post series on getting started with Rust! Each day until Christmas (December 25th 2021) you’ll find another post taking something you know how to do in node.js and translating it to Rust. Today kicks off with you setting up Rust via a tool similar to nvm, rustup. Next up we’ll tackle cargo and setting up VS Code. Later on we’ll go over language gotchas, rewrite common JavaScript tasks in Rust, and go over popular third party dependencies.

Wait, why does anyone need to learn anything but JavaScript?
