A Look at Rust from 2012


Recently I was scrolling through brson’s Rust quote database and stumbled upon a link to the official Rust tutorial from the very beginning of 2013. It says Rust 0.6 in the corner, but it lists many things that were removed in 0.6, so it’s likely closer to 0.5. I heard tales of old Rust before, but not of how the language felt to programmers. So I thought it’d be cool to give a (relatively) quick summary of Rust as presented in the tutorial and yap a bit about how far we’ve come since then.
