Whew! Who knew there was so much to say about variables.
We probably want to move the guessing game to the rust-lang org, rather than
just having it on my GitHub. Or, I could put the code inline. I think it'd be
neat to have it as a project, so people can pull it down with Cargo. Until we
make that decision, I'll just leave this here.
I'm going to move testing to be right AFTER the guessing game. I wanted it
to be borderline TDD, but I think that, since the first example is just one
file, it might be a bit overkill.
I'm doing this in its own commit to hopefully avoid merge conflicts.
./hello_world is not recognized on Windows.
We can type either hello_world or hello_world.exe to run the executable. I chose "hello_world.exe", which seems more conventional on Windows.
What's funny about this one is that spellcheck caught it, but for
some reason didn't give me the right suggestion, so I assumed that it
wasn't in my dictionary. Oh well.
Thanks @P1start! ❤️
This is built on top of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15162 . cccae83d92 is the only new commit, you may want to look at that rather than the whole diff.
Writing our first Rust program together. This is the most crucial step, so I go to a fairly deep level of detail. Future sections will move more quickly.
In line with what @brson, @cmr, @nikomatsakis and I discussed this morning, my
redux of the tutorial will be implemented as the Guide. This way, I can work in
small iterations, rather than dropping a huge PR, which is hard to review. In
addition, the community can observe my work as I'm doing it.
This adds a note in line with [this comment][reddit] that clarifies the state
of the tutorial, and the community's involvement with it.
