Rust

Step into the world of asynchronous programming with confidence by conquering the challenges of unclear concepts with this hands-on guide. Using functional examples, this book simplifies the trickiest concepts, exploring goroutines, fibers, futures, and callbacks to help you navigate the vast Rust async ecosystem with ease.

You’ll start by building a solid foundation in asynchronous programming and explore diverse strategies for modeling program flow. The book then guides you through concepts like epoll, coroutines, green threads, and callbacks using practical examples. The final section focuses on Rust, examining futures, generators, and the reactor-executor pattern. You’ll apply your knowledge to create your own runtime, solidifying expertise in this dynamic domain. Throughout the book, you’ll not only gain proficiency in Rust's async features but also see how Rust models asynchronous program flow.

By the end of the book, you'll possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to actively contribute to the Rust async ecosystem.

What you will learn

• Explore the essence of asynchronous program flow and its significance
• Understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism
• Gain insights into how computers and operating systems handle concurrent tasks
• Uncover the mechanics of async/await
• Understand Rust’s futures by implementing them yourself
• Implement green threads from scratch to thoroughly understand them

Who this book is for

This book is for programmers who want to enhance their understanding of asynchronous programming, especially those experienced in VM’ed or interpreted languages like C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go. If you work with C or C++ but have had limited exposure to asynchronous programming, this book serves as a resource to broaden your knowledge in this area. Although the examples are predominantly in Rust, the intricacies of Rust’s futures are covered in detail. So, anyone with a keen interest in learning Rust or with working knowledge of Rust will be able to get the most out of this book.

For several consecutive years, Rust has been voted "most loved programming language" in Stack Overflow's annual developer survey. This open source systems programming language is now used for everything from game engines and operating systems to browser components and virtual reality simulation engines. But Rust is also an incredibly complex language with a notoriously difficult learning curve.

Rather than focusing on the language as a whole, this guide teaches Rust using a single small, complete, focused program in each chapter. Author Ken Youens-Clark shows you how to start, write, and test each of these programs to create a finished product. You'll learn how to handle errors in Rust, read and write files, and use regular expressions, Rust types, structs, and more.

Discover how to:

• Use Rust's standard libraries and data types such as numbers, strings, vectors, structs, Options, and Results to create command-line programs
• Write and test Rust programs and functions
• Read and write files, including stdin, stdout, and stderr
• Document and validate command-line arguments
• Write programs that fail gracefully
• Parse raw and delimited text manually, using regular expressions and Rust crates
• Use and control randomness

Systems programming provides the foundation for the world's computation. Writing performance-sensitive code requires a programming language that puts programmers in control of how memory, processor time, and other system resources are used. The Rust systems programming language combines that control with a modern type system that catches broad classes of common mistakes, from memory management errors to data races between threads.

With this practical guide, experienced systems programmers will learn how to successfully bridge the gap between performance and safety using Rust. Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff, and Leonora Tindall demonstrate how Rust's features put programmers in control over memory consumption and processor use by combining predictable performance with memory safety and trustworthy concurrency.

You'll learn:

• Rust's fundamental data types and the core concepts of ownership and borrowing
• How to write flexible, efficient code with traits and generics
• How to write fast, multithreaded code without data races
• Rust's key power tools: closures, iterators, and asynchronous programming
• Collections, strings and text, input and output, macros, unsafe code, and foreign function interfaces

This revised, updated edition covers the Rust 2021 Edition.

Rust's exciting innovations have made it the most loved programming language in Stack Overflow's influential survey for five straight years--but its steep learning curve has made many other developers reluctant to dive in. Now, with a growing commitment to Rust from many of the world's leading development organizations, it's the perfect time to start--especially now that there's an up-to-date, accessible, example-rich book to guide you.
