Remember all those awesome Rust features we've been talking about? Well, before we dive deeper, it's time to set up your very own Rust coding workspace. There are a few ways to do this, each with its own advantages. Let's have a look at them 🦀
Rust Playground
The easiest way to dip your toes into Rust is using the Rust Playground. It's a fantastic online sandbox built by the Rust community for experimenting with the language. Think of it as your Rust test kitchen – you can write code snippets right in your browser without any setup. This makes it perfect for trying things out, following examples, or just getting a feel for how Rust works. It even has neat features like sharing your code snippets!
However, if you're building anything serious (multiple files, custom scripts, etc.), you'll eventually need a more powerful setup. But don't worry, the Playground is a perfect starting point, especially for the examples we'll cover in this article series. For more information, visit the Rust Playground help page.
