Rust cheatsheet

Some notes as I learn Rust.

Learning the Rust language

• The Rust Programming Language

• The Rust Performance Book

Common development tasks

cargo clippy # Linting, identifies issues and fixes
cargo clippy --fix # Linting, identifies issues and applies fixes
cargo fmt # Apply suggested code formatting
cargo test # Run all tests
cargo build # Build debug binary in `target/debug`
cargo build --release # Build release binary in `target/release`. Can be 10x as fast as debug

Setting up VS Code

• https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/rust

• https://youtu.be/2VPSzb7RNtY

• You can specify arguments for debugging in .vscode/launch.json as described here

Data science

There are two primary options for data representation beyond built in data structures:

• ndarray, the closest equivalent of numpy. Has some basic linear algebra.
• nalgebra, for focused on linear algebra

Reading andwriating ndarray data to files - https://crates.io/crates/ndarray-csv

The primary plotting package is plotters. Some resources:

• A book about plotters - https://plotters-rs.github.io/book/basic/basic_data_plotting.html
