The Rust Programming Language

A place for all things related to the Rust programming language—an open-source systems language that emphasizes performance, reliability, and productivity.

###Rules

Observe our code of conduct

Strive to treat others with respect, patience, kindness, and empathy.
We observe the Rust Project Code of Conduct.
Details

Submissions must be on-topic

Posts must reference Rust or relate to things using Rust. For content that does not, use a text post to explain its relevance.
Post titles should include useful context.
For Rust questions, use the stickied Q&A thread.
Arts-and-crafts posts are permitted on weekends.
No meta posts; message the mods instead.
Details

Constructive criticism only

Criticism is encouraged, though it must be constructive, useful and actionable.
If criticizing a project on GitHub, you may not link directly to the project's issue tracker. Please create a read-only mirror and link that instead.
Details

Keep things in perspective

A programming language is rarely worth getting worked up over.
No zealotry or fanaticism.
Be charitable in intent. Err on the side of giving others the benefit of the doubt.
Details

No endless relitigation

Avoid re-treading topics that have been long-settled or utterly exhausted.
Avoid bikeshedding.
This is not an official Rust forum, and cannot fulfill feature requests. Use the official venues for that.
Details

No low-effort content

No memes, image macros, etc.
Consider the existing content of the subreddit and whether your post fits in. Does it inspire thoughtful discussion?
Use properly formatted text to share code samples and error messages. Do not use images.
Details
