Rust is an efficient language that my roommate really likes. I'm learning it because she's smart.
a very basic sample program:
1. run cargo new hello_cargo
and swap into that directory
2. open the src folder and nano main.rs
3. in main.rs ->
write whatever the hell you want
4. build/run with cargo run
5. when ready for release: cargo build --release
wowzers! look at that-- you've built a rust code. isn't that insane?
