Trait bounds in Rust let you write generic code that only works for types with specific capabilities. You use T: Trait or where clauses to constrain what types are allowed. This helps you keep your code flexible but still type-safe. After I started using generics, I found myself needing to limit which types could be […]

Traits in Rust are like interfaces in other languages. They define shared behavior that types can implement. You can use built-in traits like Debug, or define your own. Traits let you write code that works across different types, as long as they implement the expected behavior. When I began working with generics in Rust, I

Rust allows you to write flexible and reusable code by using generic types in your functions and structs. You define generics with angle brackets like <T>, allowing your code to work across many types while staying safe and fast. A big shift from JavaScript to Rust is thinking about data types upfront. In JavaScript, you

Rust and JavaScript are very different languages designed for different goals. Rust focuses on safety and performance with strong typing and no garbage collector, while JavaScript prioritizes flexibility and rapid development in the browser and beyond. If you are a JavaScript developer learning Rust, you have probably already noticed how much stricter Rust is. At

Rust includes built-in tools to keep your code clean, readable, and consistent. Use rustfmt to format code automatically and clippy to catch common mistakes and bad practices. These tools help you write professional-grade code from day one. Recently, I noticed that all good code looked very similar. That was not an accident, rustfmt and clippy

Rust supports two types of comments: normal inline (//) or multi-line (/* … */) for explaining your code, and special documentation comments that generate public-facing docs. Writing clear comments is key to keeping your Rust code readable and maintainable. One thing I learned early in Rust is that clear code is not always self-explanatory. Like

Rust has one of the most helpful compilers in any language. Its error messages are clear, actionable, and designed to teach. Still, as a beginner, compiler errors can feel overwhelming. Learning how to read and fix them is an essential Rust skill. One of the first things I noticed about Rust was how friendly and

Crates are Rust’s way of sharing reusable packages. You can use external crates to add functionality like random number generation, regex matching, or HTTP requests. Cargo makes it easy to include them in your project by adding them to your Cargo.toml file. When building something in Rust, you do not have to write everything from

Cargo is Rust’s official package manager and build tool. It handles everything from compiling your code, managing dependencies, running tests, and creating distributable packages. You use Cargo to create new projects and run them easily with simple commands. When I first started learning Rust, one of the best surprises was how smooth the experience was

Modules in Rust help you organize code by grouping related functions, types, and constants together. You define modules using the mod keyword and use them to break large files into smaller, manageable pieces. As your Rust project grows, putting everything in one file becomes messy. That is where modules come in. They allow you to
