Rust basics

This project contains various smaller rust projects, often made by myself to gain more understanding with a topic or dependency. It contains the absolute basics of the language, the more advanced topics, but also demos on various dependencies.

Completeness is not a goal of this project.

Compiling

Please prefer the use of the cargo.sh script.

$ ./cargo.sh CRATE CARGO_COMMANDS...

If you need to compile the whole workspace:

apt install libgtk-3-dev librust-atk-dev -y

Rust unsafe

Unsafe rust offers many possibilities otherwise locked from rust, which might cause undefined behavior (or are dubbed unsafe for other reasons). Let's be honest, they are often hacks. But they can have fun uses and are sometimes interesting to explore, if only to see how the underlying system works.

Unsafe rust also has important uses when using programs developed in other languages (like C or C++) or when manipulation of bits, bytes, and memory is in needed (sorting algorithms).

See rs-unsafe for more.
