New To Rust

Welcome to Rust!

Maybe you have heard of Rust and want to see what all the hype is about, maybe you know a little Rust and want to improve your Rust while writing Dart, for whatever the reason, rust is here to help. Rust has a solid reputation for writing safe, maintainable, and performant code. rust brings the same tools and philosophy to Dart! rust is also a great start to learn and improve your Rust semantics/knowledge. You will write Dart and learn Rust along the way. With rust you can expect all the usual types you see in Rust. Here is a quick matrix comparing Rust, Dart, and Dart with rust:

Rust Type	Dart Equivalent	rust	Description
`[T; N]`	`const [...]`/`List<T>(growable: false)`	`Arr<T>`	Fixed size array or list
`Iterator<T>`	`Iterator<T>`/`Iterable<T>`	`Iter<T>`	Consumable iteration
`Option<T>`	`T?`	`Option<T>`	A type that may hold a value or none
`Result<T, E>`	-	`Result<T, E>`	Type used for returning and propagating errors
`[T]`	-	`Slice<T>`	View into an array or list
`Cell<T>`	-	`Cell<T>`	Value wrapper, useful for primitives
`channel<T>`	-	`channel<T>`	Communication between produces and consumers
`Mutex<T>`	-	`Mutex`	Exclusion primitive useful for protecting critical sections
`RwLock<T>`	-	`RwLock`	Exclusion primitive allowing multiple read operations and exclusive write operations
`Path`	-	`Path`*	Type for file system path manipulation and interaction
`Vec<T>`	`List<T>`	`Vec<T>`	Dynamic/Growable array
