This repository documents my journey through the official Rust Programming Language Book, containing code examples, exercises, and small projects that I’ve built while learning Rust. Each file or module in this repository corresponds to specific Rust concepts covered in the book — from ownership and lifetimes to concurrency, error handling, and systems-level design patterns.
My primary motivation for learning Rust is to develop high-performance, low-latency systems that can power trade execution bots and Web3 transaction signing services. These domains demand:
- Speed: Sub-millisecond decision-making and execution.
- Reliability: Memory safety without sacrificing performance.
- Security: Robust protection against vulnerabilities common in concurrent and cryptographic systems.
Rust’s design philosophy — fearless concurrency, zero-cost abstractions, and strict memory guarantees — aligns perfectly with these requirements. This repository, therefore, doubles as both:
- A record of my progress through the Rust ecosystem.
- A curated set of core Rust features that are essential for building performant trading and blockchain infrastructure.
Each directory corresponds to a chapter or concept from the Rust Book and includes:
- Code examples rewritten or extended for practical relevance.
- Notes and insights linking language concepts to real-world applications in low-latency and decentralized systems.
- Mini-projects demonstrating foundational skills that will be later applied in production-grade Rust systems.
