journey to rust

My first solved problem with lists

Yeah, Rust is brutal when you have lists.

The problem: you get a list, return second half of it. I decided to solve it without using Clone.

Creating collection from values

I believe I just found a very idiomatic way to create a single-elemented collection (like HashSet, Vec, VecDeque, etc).

… actually, not a single-elemented. Any fixed number of elements.

Production grade is hard…

Real colors on real terminals

Nitty gritty details of char iterators

I found my own way to learn Rust. After initial ‘impossible’ wall, there is other kind of problem, when you stuck in the middle of an expression and can’t make value to be of a suitable type.

A small summary for idiomatic Rust

I got myself into simple problem: to split string into pieces by space. During this …ehem… problem I found I need to filter empty splits if there is more than one space in row.

My intial code was:

foo.split("…

Type of empty matrix in Rust

Let’s talk about two dimensional matrices in Rust. To be precise, two-dimensional matrices written as nested arrays.

A simple 2x2 matrix is looks like this:

let matrix = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];

Converting nested array to vec

I got to a next leetcode crossword. Even before I got to the core of the problem I was puzzled with…

My first real code in Rust

Every language starts with a playground. You CAN do amazing things there, but they are as amazing as a neighboring kid sand cake.

As soon as you move from playground into ‘do something real’ you move from sand cake realm into ‘paper applications with a…
