This repository collects resources for writing clean, idiomatic Rust code. Please bring your own. 😊

Idiomatic coding means following the conventions of a given language. It is the most concise, convenient, and common way of accomplishing a task in that language, rather than forcing it to work in a way the author is familiar with from a different language. - Adapted from Tim Mansfield

⚙ Projects

  • Rust Anthology - The best short-form writing about Rust, collected.
  • blessed.rs - An unofficial guide to the Rust ecosystem. Suggestions for popular, well-maintained crates.
  • cheats.rs - Idiomatic Rust tips - A list of quick tips to make your code more idiomatic.
  • clippy - A bunch of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.
  • Patterns - A catalogue of design patterns in Rust.
  • Elements of Rust - A collection of software engineering techniques for effectively expressing intent with Rust.
  • Possible Rust - A blog for intermediate Rust programmers exploring real-world code and design patterns.
  • Rust API Guidelines - An extensive list of recommendations for idiomatic Rust APIs.
  • Rust by Example - A community driven collection of example code which follow Rust best practices.

🏋 Workshops

  • Build your own JIRA with Rust - A test-driven workshop to learn Rust building your own JIRA clone!
  • Ferrous Systems Teaching Material - Free workshop material produced by Ferrous Systems for trainings. The time for the full course is around three to four days.
  • PingCAP talent plan - A series of training courses about writing distributed systems in Rust. The courses primarily consist of projects where coding problems are presented, along with a partial implementation or API description, and a test suite.
  • Procedural Macros Workshop - This repo contains a selection of projects designed to learn to write Rust procedural macros — Rust code that generates Rust code.

  • Await a minute by David Tolnay - Example code for moving from raw futures to async/await syntax to improve error handling, native control flow, and borrowing.
  • Taking string arguments in Rust by @Xion - Discussing how to avoid subtle issues with string handling and when to use str (the string slice) and String (the owned/allocated string).
  • Rust Patterns: Enums Instead Of Booleans by Blake Smith - Discusses how using enums instead of booleans can be useful to express intent more clearly without sacrificing safety thanks to Rust's strong semantics (like exhaustive pattern matching).

📜 History

Coming from Python, I loved the guidelines on how idiomatic Python looks like. I was inspired by the likes of Peter Norvig, who wrote amazing articles on spellcheckers and sudoku solvers; and, of course, the Zen of Python. For Rust, there is no such thing as the Zen of Python, however, so I started collecting my own resources. The goal of this project is to create a peer-reviewed collection of articles/talks/repos, which teach idiomatic Rust style. It's a community project and you can contribute.
