Lessons Learned:

  • Cargo clippy is a really great way to clean your code and put it up to the standards recommended by the rust book - commit 21cf79e3
  • cargo llvm-cov is a great way to ensure code coverage
  • cargo fmt: easily format a rust file
  • cargo install [package]: easy way to add libraries
  • Rust is entirely different from C or C++ in how it handles returns where the language revolves around Option<> and/or Result<>
    • Sort of a hybrid between C and C#?
  • CI/CD is basically where you run build, test, deploy steps to your app - commit 21cf79e3
    • This is achieved by the system through regular container images and running commands inside of them for each step
      • For example, in the build step, I can download a container specific to rust and run cargo build and, if there are any warnings/errors, CI/CD will let me know
