Learning Rust: Updated

https://learning-rust.github.io

Comments

dumindunuwan•46m ago
The project started in 2016 as a Medium publication and GitBook but later moved to https://github.com/learning-rust/learning-rust.github.io

I was updating section by section from time to time. No lies! keeping a Rust tutorial up to date is very tough. Plus, you end up repeating what you already know. It is even tougher, when you have to write code in another language for work.

https://learning-rust.github.io updated to 2026 with lot of rewrites. Human-Authored and target human readers.

What's next?

https://github.com/dumindu/axum and some real world project ideas as a separate section parallel to the docs.

A modern thread per core concurrency focused concurrency docs section, maybe.

More details at https://learning-rust.github.io/journal/ and https://github.com/dumindu

Thanks
