While an all-Rust approach works for some systems, most companies have extensive existing C and C++ code. Rust's design, rooted in Mozilla Firefox's development, has always aimed to integrate with these languages. By consulting Rust experts, we've developed guidelines for harmoniously blending Rust with C and C++ in various scenarios.

A taste of Rust (with a drop of Qt)

This hands-on course teaches building a small Rust library and command line interface, covering Rust's strengths and integration into existing projects. Students gain basic Rust experience to assess future development potential. A bonus session demonstrates using the Rust library from Qt with CXX-Qt, including discussion of when this approach makes sense and when it doesn't.
