📖 Read it online: https://josiahparry.github.io/rust-for-r-devs

The workshops

1. Intro to Rust for R Developers — Rust fundamentals from the ground up: types, control flow, collections, ownership, iterators, structs, enums, and error handling.
2. Building Rust-based R Packages — putting that Rust to work by building a real R package, {rurls}, that wraps the url crate with extendr.

Slides for each live in slides/ (p1.qmd and p2.qmd).

Solutions

• Workshop 1 solutions are in intro-to-rust/examples/ — one .rs file per chapter.
• Workshop 2 solutions are the R package in rurls/.
