Quick Reference
Rust: Use Result<T, E> for fallible operations, Option<T> for nullable values. ? operator for error propagation. thiserror for library errors, anyhow for applications. Tokio for async runtime. Prefer channels over shared state. Clone sparingly.
Use When
- Building systems software in Rust
- Writing async Rust with Tokio
- Implementing error handling patterns
- Organizing large Rust projects
Skip When
- Embedded Rust (no_std)
- WebAssembly targets
- Other systems languages (Go, C++)
