Introduction to Rust (for people who have never used a compiler)
summary
Promises a hands‑on path from zero to a working CLI and shows the exact commands to get there: rustup / cargo init then cargo run and optional cloud play (play.rust‑lang) or evcxr / Jupyter for interactive play. Demonstrates writing an L‑system interpreter with turtle graphics, explains ownership/borrowing, enums/structs/vectors, and Result/Option with ? vs unwrap. Recommends sccache speeds compilation 5x. Demos compile‑and‑run, file IO with OpenOptions and some resource‑heavy rendering that can crash if misused.
