Even after nine chapters of Rust, we are still missing the parts that make applications pleasant to use. Many crates within Rust's ecosystem provide important functions across different domains and, depending on the application type, you might need several additional crates. In this chapter, we will look at various parts within Rust's standard library and public crate repository to make our application development faster, easier, and—in general—more productive. Although this chapter has a strong focus on command-line applications, we think that many of the recipes are just as applicable for other types, such as web servers or shared utility libraries. You can look forward to learning how to create usable Rust programs that integrate well with the OS and behave in ways that users know and expect. On top of that, we added a recipe...

Overview of this book
Rust 2018, Rust's first major milestone since version 1.0, brings more advancement in the Rust language. The Rust Programming Cookbook is a practical guide to help you overcome challenges when writing Rust code.
This Rust book covers recipes for configuring Rust for different environments and architectural designs, and provides solutions to practical problems. It will also take you through Rust's core concepts, enabling you to create efficient, high-performance applications that use features such as zero-cost abstractions and improved memory management. As you progress, you'll delve into more advanced topics, including channels and actors, for building scalable, production-grade applications, and even get to grips with error handling, macros, and modularization to write maintainable code. You will then learn how to overcome common roadblocks when using Rust for systems programming, IoT, web development, and network programming. Finally, you'll discover what Rust 2018 has to offer for embedded programmers.
By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to build fast and safe applications and services using Rust.
