Rust for everyone and rust everywhere!
Hello Rustaceans!
Rust is spreading far and wide. In the Rust community in Nigeria, we've seen a nice variety of rust use cases. We've seen people talk about how they use rust in Systems software, Blockchain, Web Apps, Servers, IOT, Aero Space, telecommunications among many.
In Today's issue, we have a rust story about an ultra-passionate rust developer, an open source project looking to use rust in Aerospace, an article on building the classic hangman game in rust, a tutorial on building full-stack applications in rust and articles on borrowing, ownership and web frameworks in rust.
Developer Stories
Rust's Defender
This rust story tells the tale of Ayodeji Adeoti - a developer with an extreme passion for spreading the gospel of rust to anyone who cares to listen!
Open Source projects
Are we in space yet?
AeroRust is calling for volunteers and contributors to re-design & Rust re-write a catalogue of crates in the Rust ecosystem for (aero)space.
AeroRust is an Aerospace 🚀 and Rust 🦀 Working Group aiming to help push the Open-source community more into the growing Aerospace industry, by providing information, materials, tools, crates, etc. to the industry and hobbyists.
If you'd like to help or provide feedback on the design reach out to Lachezar Lechev.
