Customized Linux distribution and a safe systems programming language sounds like a very interesting combination for embedded development. That is what makes Yocto and Rust such a good match. So, I wanted to see how Rust projects could be cross-compiled with Yocto-generated toolchain and root filesystem. The steps are described in this post.

After reading the Rust book and writing about my initial experiences, I wanted a small practical project to familiarize myself with the language. So, I decided to write a REST client library. This post shows, step-by-step, how my initial design was refactored to be more robust and easy-to-use. Traits and generics are key concepts in these refactorings. The intent is not to cover the internals of the library in detail and also the basic syntax of traits and generics is not covered here. The Rust Book chapter 10 is an excellent resource for the latter.
Having seen a lot of positive buzz around the Rust language, I decided to look into it myself aswell. So, past couple of weeks I have been reading the second edition of The Rust Programming Language book which is an introductory to the language. This blog post is a round-up of my first impressions about the language and its features, and it also serves as a quick intro for others interested in it. In my day job I work mostly with C and C++ so those are my main reference points when learning a new language. Continue reading “My experiences learning Rust”
