## AI overview

A curated list of web-based resources for Rust developers, gathered from responses to a Twitter request. It includes an online experimentation tool, documentation, nightly build documentation, supplementary docs, a compiler explorer, a JSON parser generator, and a component registry.

## Source excerpt

I am not, alas, a compiled languages guy. I do find Rust absolutely fascinating because by inverting the common assumptions, a whole class of software errors are being avoided. Given that we live in a constant shite show of software quality, any engineering practices that generate better code are highly desirable. Discovering testing and pair programming for me was I suspect as life changing as Rust feels to a C programmer. Even though I don't really do compiled stuff, I do admit to being more than a bit of a language wonk - if it is weird, interpreted and has a repl or is a stream process, well, that I'm good at. My tools have included Ruby, Elixir, Python, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Prolog (both Borland and Quintus on Sun 2), , Perl, VB, Awk, HyperAwk, Elm, OmniMark and others. So learning a bit about Rust feels pretty normal to me. But I digress - this is about Rust. Even tho I don't really compile, I'm a solid writer and I'm happy to ask questions and compile answers. Web Based Rust Tools I posed this question on Twitter tonight: Given the amazing response to my comments about programs written in Rust, I would appreciate links to great Rust resources and, particularly, web based tools that Rust devs use. #rustlang @steveklabnik, @bcantrill PermaLink And, happily, a ton of very smart people took the time to reply. I compiled all the tools suggested below. http://play.rust-lang.org - online repl / experimentation tool http://docs.rs - documentation https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/ - nightly build docs https://forge.rust-lang.org/ - a repository of supplementary docs https://rust.godbolt.org - compiler explorer http://app.quicktype.io - JSON parser generator https://crates.io/ - component registry - yes I added this; this is a development tool because finding components is a part of development Adding to This Drop me a line on Twitter where I am @fuzzygroup and I'm happy to add any tools you find.
