I've been going through this book after looking for something that would help me learn more about some of the common design patterns and practices used in Rust. I think for people who come from an OO, C++, Java, python, ect. background this book is especially helpful because the author gives side by side examples on how some of the ideas in OOP translate to Rust and it's functional design patterns. (And how they don't). Anyways, for me it's been really helpful, I thought others might find it helpful as well.

Thanks for the tip. I'll add this to my reading list. I'm currently reading through "the rust book" right now, seems this will be the ideal followup. Also got through a book on data-oriented design recently, then I need to finish reading the book on Bevy, and then I think I'll be ready to switch to Rust and the Bevy engine. A lot of reading this year, but I can tell I'll be happy with rust and ECS before long.

Does it require any rust knowledge?

[–] catch22 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I would recommend having a basic understanding of the language first.

Wait, Rust is a functional language and not object oriented?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

It's neither with parts from both.
