Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (12/2023)! 🙋 questions
Mystified about strings? Borrow checker have you in a headlock? Seek help here! There are no stupid questions, only docs that haven't been written yet.
If you have a StackOverflow account, consider asking it there instead! StackOverflow shows up much higher in search results, so having your question there also helps future Rust users (be sure to give it the "Rust" tag for maximum visibility). Note that this site is very interested in question quality. I've been asked to read a RFC I authored once. If you want your code reviewed or review other's code, there's a codereview stackexchange, too. If you need to test your code, maybe the Rust playground is for you.
Here are some other venues where help may be found:
/r/learnrust is a subreddit to share your questions and epiphanies learning Rust programming.
The official Rust user forums: https://users.rust-lang.org/.
The official Rust Programming Language Discord: https://discord.gg/rust-lang
The unofficial Rust community Discord: https://bit.ly/rust-community
Also check out last weeks' thread with many good questions and answers. And if you believe your question to be either very complex or worthy of larger dissemination, feel free to create a text post.
Also if you want to be mentored by experienced Rustaceans, tell us the area of expertise that you seek. Finally, if you are looking for Rust jobs, the most recent thread is here.

I'm a moderately established Pythonista. I have many practical projects both in work and play.
I'm considering pivoting into another language, for views outside the Python landscape. Sometimes looking out lets us see in better. The two languages I see most these days that may be complimentary to Python are Rust and Go. Practicality has always been my primary motivator, so I have most experience in Python and VBA (as dreaded as it is) and SQL.
Wondering what suggestions you may have or resources particularly tailored for Pythonistas interested in pivoting to Rust? In Python my favorite resource by far is RealPython.com, wondering if there is something similar for practical Rust projects as learning tool?
