Chapter 1: Rust Tutorial

Rust Home — I think you’re asking about the official home / homepage / starting place of the Rust programming language (not the survival game). In our community we very often just say “the Rust home” or “Rust’s home page” when we mean the main website where everything begins.

So let me explain it properly, like we’re sitting in a café in Hi-Tech City talking about code ☕

What exactly is “Rust Home”?

Rust Home = https://www.rust-lang.org/ This is the official homepage of the Rust programming language.

It’s not just a landing page — it’s the central welcome mat for everyone:

• New people who never wrote a line of Rust
• People thinking “should I learn this instead of Go / Python / C++?”
• Companies thinking about adopting Rust
• People looking for documentation, events, governance, etc.

When Rust people say things like:

• “Go check the home page”
• “They updated the home page examples”
• “Look at the new hero section on Rust home”

…they almost always mean https://rust-lang.org

(There is also https://doc.rust-lang.org which is more like the library / book home, but the real “home” is rust-lang.org)

What do you see when you open https://www.rust-lang.org/ ? (as of Feb 2026)

The page is kept clean, modern and focused. Typical structure looks something like this:

1. Big hero section (top banner)

   • Tagline: usually something like “A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software”
   • Three big pillars (Why Rust?)
     • Performance → blazingly fast, no garbage collector, runs everywhere
     • Reliability → memory + thread safety at compile time (ownership & borrow checker)
     • Productivity → great compiler messages, modern package manager (Cargo), excellent docs

2. “Get started” / “Install Rust” button → Almost always the biggest call-to-action → Takes you to instructions for rustup (the tool that installs Rust + updates it forever)

3. Code example right on the front page Usually a small but beautiful Rust snippet showing modern syntax — often something with:

   • let, match, Option, Result, closures, iterators, or async/await

   Example they love showing (or similar):

   Rust

   PHP

   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

   fn main() {     let favorite_numbers = vec![13, 42, 7, 99];       let found = favorite_numbers         .iter()         .find(|&&n| n % 7 == 0)         .copied()         .unwrap_or(0);       println!("First number divisible by 7 is: {}", found); }

   Or sometimes a tiny web server with axum or file reading example.

4. Production users section Logos of big companies using Rust in 2026:

   • AWS
   • Discord
   • Dropbox
   • Cloudflare
   • Microsoft (parts of Windows, Azure)
   • Google (Fuchsia OS parts, Android)
   • Meta
   • And many blockchain / crypto projects

5. Other important sections lower down

   • “Learn Rust” → links to The Book, Rust by Example, Rustlings, Tour of Rust
   • “Playground” → online editor where you can try Rust without installing
   • “What’s new” / blog → latest release notes (e.g. Rust 1.86, 1.87…)
   • “Governance” → Rust Foundation, teams, how decisions are made
   • “Community” → Discord, Reddit (/r/rust), Zulip, forums, events (RustConf, RustLatam, etc.)

Quick comparison — where should you go for different things?

So in short — very teacher style summary

“Rust Home” = the front door of the whole Rust world → https://www.rust-lang.org/ When someone tells you “go to the Rust home page and click Install”, that’s the place. It’s where the journey usually starts for 95% of people.

If you open it right now (from Hyderabad, Feb 26 2026 afternoon ☀️), you’ll see the latest design they have — they refresh it every few years to make it even friendlier.

Want me to walk you through what to click first after opening it? Or explain any section in more detail? Or compare it with the game’s home page (facepunch rust.facepunch.com) so you never mix them again? 😄

Just say the word — class is in session! 🚀
