Episode notes

There's actually like a fledgling data science in the browser community. A bunch of these Python tools that we were kind of laughing about before, um, have been compiled to run in the browser. The other really cool place where Rust can run is like on tiny little devices.

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.
