Episode notes

Rust has always been a programming language community that has supported open source. One of the lessons it didn't learn was name spacing. MPM, we're essentially... we're vulnerable to name squatting. People just grab in a name and hold on to it for whatever reason.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Tim McNamara, author of Rust in Action about what Rust is, how to get started learning Rust, and ideas of good projects to begin learning Rust with.
