SE Radio 659: Brenden Matthews on Idiomatic Rust

Brenden Matthews, a seasoned software engineer,
entrepreneur, and author of the Idiomatic Rust and Code Like a
Pro in Rust books (both from Manning), speaks with SE Radio host
Gavin Henry about Idiomatic Rust. They start with a look at what
"idiomatic" means, and then discuss Generics, Traits, common
design patterns you'll see in well written Rust code, and
anti-patterns to avoid. Matthews suggests some tools that can
help you immediately write idiomatic Rust, as well as what
building blocks can also help. This episode examines what
Generics are and how they compare to other languages, as well as
what Traits are, how macros help, what a Fluent Interface is, and
why unwrap() is bad. They also discuss what code smells to look
out for, Clone, Copy, and a really nice place to go read
real-world Idiomatic Rust code.
