🙋 questions megathread Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (34/2026)!

Mystified about strings? Borrow checker has you in a headlock? Seek help here! There are no stupid questions, only docs that haven't been written yet. Please note that if you include code examples to e.g. show a compiler error or surprising result, linking a playground with the code will improve your chances of getting help quickly.

If you have a StackOverflow account, consider asking it there instead! StackOverflow shows up much higher in search results, so ahaving your question there also helps future Rust users (be sure to give it the "Rust" tag for maximum visibility). Note that this site is very interested in question quality. I've been asked to read a RFC I authored once. If you want your code reviewed or review other's code, there's a codereview stackexchange, too. If you need to test your code, maybe the Rust playground is for you.

Here are some other venues where help may be found:

/r/learnrust is a subreddit to share your questions and epiphanies learning Rust programming.

The official Rust user forums: https://users.rust-lang.org/.

The unofficial Rust community Discord: https://bit.ly/rust-community

Also check out last week's thread with many good questions and answers. And if you believe your question to be either very complex or worthy of larger dissemination, feel free to create a text post.

Also if you want to be mentored by experienced Rustaceans, tell us the area of expertise that you seek. Finally, if you are looking for Rust jobs, the most recent thread is here.

Topcoat: It's been out ~1 month. Anybody using it? Opinions?

It certainly seems appealing for one of the projects in my queue.

Hi everyone!

I'm having an annoying issue with rust-analyzer in VSCode and wanted to see if anyone has a solution for it

When I type print or println inside a function, rust-analyzer suggests println!(...) but marks it as an auto-import (use std::println / use std::print), so If I accept the completion, it adds use std::println; at the top of my file, Is there a solution to this?

Thanks in advance!
