A practical Rust guide written for TypeScript developers — side-by-side code comparisons, runnable examples, and no C/C++ background required.

What this is

Most Rust learning resources assume a systems programming background. This guide takes a different approach: every concept is explained through the lens of TypeScript.

• Side-by-side code: TypeScript and Rust examples shown together
• Runnable code: Execute Rust snippets directly in the browser
• Bilingual: English and Korean
• 14 chapters covering syntax, ownership, traits, concurrency, and more
