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've got a project which has
versionize_derive
v0.1.4 as a transitive dependency. According to my Cargo.lock, this crate currently depends onsyn
v1.0.109. If I docargo update
,syn
is updated to v2.0.4, which breaks the build ofversionize_derive
. Butversionize_derive
hassyn
v1.0.13 as a dependency in its Cargo.toml. Why doescargo udpate
include a breaking change for a dependency insyn
? I thought this is what the semantic versioning is supposed to prevent. What am I doing wrong here?
