Index
Jon Gjengset has worked in the Rust ecosystem since the early days
of Rust 1.0, and built a high-performance relational database from
scratch in Rust over the course of his PhD at MIT. He's been a
frequent contributor to the Rust toolchain and ecosystem, including
the asynchronous runtime tokio, and maintains several popular Rust
crates, such as hdrhistogram and inferno. Jon has been teaching
Rust since 2018, when he started live-streaming intermediate-level
Rust programming. Since then, he's made videos that cover advanced
topics like async and await, pinning, variance, atomics, dynamic
dispatch, and more, which have been received enthusiastically by
the Rust community.
David Tolnay, who reviewed the book's technical content, is a
prolific, well-known, and respected contributor in the Rust
ecosystem who maintains some of the most widely used Rust
libraries, including syn, serde, and anyhow. He is also a member of
the Rust library team.
"You'll learn dozens—probably hundreds—of things about how to
improve your Rust programming by reading this book."
—Tim McNamara, author of Rust in Action
"One of Rust's weaknesses as a language is there's a lot of
beginner content and a lot of advanced content, but any
intermediate content is just nonexistent or requires quite the
struggle to learn. Jon Gjengset has done a wonderful job of
distilling those next steps into an easy to read book."
—Michael Gattozzi, Senior Software Engineer, Fastly
"For a long time, people have asked me what they should read after
The Rust Programming Language. Rust for Rustaceans is that book.
This book will teach you how to effectively *use* Rust, after
you've understood the core syntax and semantics of the language
itself. Rust has a rich number of tools for you to choose from, and
Rust for Rustaceans will show them all off, and teach you how to
properly take advantage of all the richness Rust has to offer."
—Steve Klabnik, co-author of The Rust Programming Language
"Rust for Rustaceans is such a good book (for folks who already
know rust)!"
—Ron Bowes, @iagox86
