Hello, I am new in the tech scene and basically rust, and I am looking for people we can build up study group, share ideas, build together basically. If you're down for it, you can reach to me via email, riettasmab1@gmail.com.
Hi riri !
Me too I am new and welcome to the rust community =)
I have done my first code in Rust, here the link : Animated Eyes
Happy coding and studying !
Another new joinee/rust-acolyte here. Longtime polyglot attempting to understand idiomatic rust and also transition from an imperative to a functional mindset with this and various other tools/languages. I value folks who can be conversational and willing to share and steep their knowledge with others attempting to be contributors & practitioners. I'll happily be a study-buddy with you and threedslider. My background is backend/service/integration so our areas of interest are diverse, but I network wherever I can. BTW threedslider's animated eyes program is cool! He obviously has a background in another (many?) language to pull from because there's quite a bit going on in the source. Hats off to ya!
Hello @mattlongfield !
Cool, it is nice to see more users who use Rust 
, thanks again for my first code ! And yes i use several programming as C++ and some other too.
Me too I study with Rust and together we can share something with our knowledge as well
@riri What is your background for Rust ? And what is your progress about your way of coding ? We are ready to help our self if you stuck with Rust 
Happy coding !
Hello everyone,
i am also very new to rust would love to join in on studying together.
Also i am open to simple project ideas to work on together.
Regarding my background i am a CS student and have some experience with Python and C/C++.
@mattlongfield i had to learn some haskell for a course. Did you try a fully functional language yet and what kind of functional features did you test in rust?
@threedslider your animated eyes program is very cool! 
I've tried some Clojure experimentation, but I really struggle with launching REPL and loading already written code in that environment. It seems to be an in-demand skillset though, so I haven't given up entirely on it. I find Racket to be a pleasure to work, experiment and POC in, SBCL not so much. I find my functional mindset improving over time using multi-paradigm languages (Kotlin), and Rust seems to be an excellent way to transition, with it's support for first-class functions. Rust is definitely what I'm spending the most time reading about, pulling github example projects to review and experiment with, and where I most want to 'live' language-wise.
From a project standpoint, I find myself hunting for github starting-point fullstack examples with web, REST, user registration & JWT auth and SQLx/SQLite baked in. So many attempts that fail to crate build for various reasons - I also think I'm probably limiting myself by using Windows 11 vs a full Linux workstation as my build environment.
Lets keep our eyes peeled for good online classes/tutorials/resources and report when we find nuggets. Yes?
Hi Baconomic !
Welcome to the Rust community ! 
Cool your background are solid, hope your coding in Rust will be it too !
Have a nice day and happy conding !
Thanks a lot for that !
Hey, Guys,
I'm a complete rust beginner and think a small group sounds great. I have intermediate experience in python and a little in JS.
Welcome @Gobyebyebro to the Rust community ! =)
Don't worry I will put a video link (not mine) for those had starting to learn with Rust.
I’m not quite sure how to handle organizing a small group here, but it is time that I’d like to share some knowledge about Rust with you all. Here is a YouTube link I found useful for learning—even for us beginners : Rust Programming for Beginners: Install Rust, Set Up VS Code & Create Your First Project
The title explains it all—I managed to get the Rust compilation working my self as successfully. How about you?
Are you stuck? Or is it going smoothly, but something is still missing?
(hopefully links are allowed & work as I expect)
It's from the 'Rust Programming Language Community' Discord
I'd encourage anybody new to rust to check it out
Hey,
I have watched TECHNONATIC's vid on YT. Rust was installed correctly in what appears to be an Win11 laptop. I did non know --release created an optimized copies. I think I'll try to figure out how to compile several binaries at once, including arm64. and whatever runs on Android.
Cheers
Hi @furetosan !
Welcome to the Rust community ! ^^
Wow that growing even more here !!
Nice to see if you have created successfully with Rust without debug program =)
It is new thing for me, i learn everyday and discovered everytime something new in programming !
So I search for you and i hope you don't mind me about that for other beginners.
For arm64 yeah possible but if you want to learn for creating a program with Android which is a bit of advanced topic, there is a link very specific for you : DĂ©veloppement Android avec Tauri 2.0 et RUST | Android | Installation | Tauri 2.0 | RUST, it is french but with voice in english you can understand that well. Warning it is on linux that setup it but you can do it in win 11 too with a little extra of effort...
More info here about for Android to be working : Tauri 2.0, Yarn, SDK Platform Tools release notes.
Happy Rust !
your animated eyes program is really cool btw, how can I reach you? Maybe we can organize something for us to study/ weekly checkins together? What do you think?
@threedslider I have a stable background in C++ too, yaay! But so far I'd say I'm at understanding Async, whew!
Both C++ competency, and async methodology in ANY language, are reasons to feel great pride in oneself. That's my take. I'm constantly struggling to wrap my head around await, promises, etc, etc. Or I should say that I understand the concept (and their necessity) but struggle with the implementation and their details across languages. Hats off to you. I look forward to reading about your progress in rust, as your progress is assured in my mind
Thanks a lot !
For organization, i suggest you to make a new thread at evey week in this forum as progress for study so all beginner can start to study with Rust 
Example of inspiration from this thread : What’s everyone working on this week (31/2026)?
Another example, you can rename as What's everyone studying on this week (XX/2026) ? (at your own words)
And put here your link from new thread so other can join our study?
What do you think ?
