If you've started to learn Rust and you've come from another language you're strong in it can feel foreign or different. For some it's the borrow checker, for others it's trying to apply OOP to things you wouldn't in Rust, or maybe you make sure to check for null/nil/undefined in other languages but Option seems foreign in comparison. That's where this project comes into play. If you look in the directory of the language you're familiar with you'll find various Rust concepts explained in the language you know and how that translates to Rust.

Are you a more seasoned Rust Lang user? Help write some articles for languages you're also passionate about! Noticed an error? Open up an issue or a PR so it can get fixed! Felt like the explanation of something could be better? Open up an issue and let us know how!

There's many ways you can contribute no matter how small a change or issue. This is a project to help spread love and knowledge of Rust in accordance with the community's 2017 goals of having a lower learning curve.

Before you open up an issue please check the issue tracker to make sure your issue is not already in there. If it's a duplicate the correct issue will be linked and your issue closed.

You can take a look at the first article written for an example of what the format is. In that article it shows you how to use the Result if you are coming from Haskell. Each article follows a basic format:

1. The Rust concept and what it solves is introduced
2. The problem solved by the Rust concept is answered here with an example from the language the user is coming from.
3. The same example is then solved with Rust utilizing the concept introduced before.
4. The strengths and weakness of how Rust does it compared to the other language is then discussed.

It's a simple format that allows for comparisons between Rust and other languages. It also allows critical evaluation of problems that might occur while transitioning from a language to Rust. The code examples given also provide a spring board for new users to translate code they might have in another language as practice in using Rust.
