Rust X JS - Class vs Struct - A look at Rust Through JS Tinted Glasses
Welcome Voyager!
Today I'd love to try taking a look at Rust through the perspective of a JavaScript (or TypeScript) developer. Rust's growing popularity is not only something to keep an eye on, but an excellent excuse to learn something new.
A JavaScript class is a syntax that allows you to define blueprints for creating objects. Compared to the Rust Programming Language, structs act in a similar way by providing a mechanism for defining custom data types that encapsulate related data fields.
Let's compare the similarities and differences between these two concepts so that we can better understand their respective roles and functionalities in programming languages. By examining their similarities, we can identify common principles that underlie both concepts, facilitating knowledge transfer between languages and enhancing our ability to leverage their features effectively. In the end, hopefully we can learn some Rust!
Keep in mind that this is mostly psuedo-code written to show quick comparisons. You may need to tweak it to get it to run!
