 *** Rust, the language
-    - A bit more than 10 years old (2010)
+    - First appearance 2010
+    - Rust is the coating closest to the bare metal
     - Memory safe without gcing, optional reference counting
-    - Ownership, lifetimes, traits, functional paradigms
-    - Variables are immutable by default and can be shadowed
-    - Performance of idiomatic Rust is comparable to the performance
-      of idiomatic C++
+    - Ownership, lifetimes, traits, functional paradigms, zero-cost
+      and zero-size abstractions
     - A well designed language and ecosystem

+** Language
+   - Semicolons have meaning (statements vs. expressions)
+   - Mutability
+   - Shadowing
+   - Functional paradigms
+   - Pattern matching
+   - Memory safety
+   - Meaningful compiler warnings and errors
+
+** Statements vs. expressions
+*** Statements
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let something = true;
+    fn_call();
+    #+END_SRC
+*** Expressions
+    ~false~, ~x + y~, ~fn_call()~
+*** Example
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let bool_value = true;
+    let value = if bool_value {
+        "true".to_string()
+    } else {
+        "false".to_string()
+    };
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Mutability and shadowing
+*** Immutable variable
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let foo = 5;
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Mutable variable
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let mut bar = 5;
+    bar = 6;
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Shadowing
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let baz = 5;
+    let baz = baz + 3;
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Type aliases
+*** Type aliases example
+     #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+     type Frequency = u64;
+     let clock: Frequency = 8_000_000
+
+     #[allow(non_camel_case_types)]
+     type u64_t = u64;
+     let another_clock: Frequency = 16_000_000 as u64_t;
+     #+END_SRC
+
+** Tuple structs
+*** Definition of a tuple struct
+     #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+     struct Rectangle(usize, usize);
+     #+END_SRC
+
+*** Instantiation of a tuple struct
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let rect = Rectangle(3, 5);
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Access of a tuple struct's field
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    rect.0;
+    rect.1;
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Structs
+   - Direct access vs. getter and setter (~pub~ keyword)
+   - ~Something::new(item)~ and ~Something::default()~
+
+*** Definition of a struct
+     #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+     struct Something {
+         id: usize,
+         item: String,
+     }
+     #+END_SRC
+
+** Enums
+*** Enum example
+     #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+     enum Event {
+         Receive,
+         Send(String),
+         Reset { address: u64, hard: bool },
+     }
+
+     let new_event = Event::Send("A message".to_owned());
+     #+END_SRC
+
+** ~if let~
+
+** Pattern matching and some macros
+*** Simple ~match~
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    match an_enum {
+        MyEnum::Something => todo!("This has to be done"),
+        MyEnum::SomethingElse(_) => unimplemented!("This is not implemented"),
+        MyEnum::AnotherThing(e) => println!("It is another thing: {}", e),
+        _ => unreachable!(),
+    };
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Assigning ~match~
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let maturity = match age {
+        0 | 1 => "infant",
+        2..=12 => "child",
+        13..=19 => "teen",
+        _ => "...",
+    };
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Loops[fn:reference_loops]
+*** Loops
+    - ~loop~: infinite loops
+    - ~while~: loops until a predicate is false
+    - ~while let~: loops until a pattern is matched
+    - ~for~: loop over an iterator until it is empty
+
+*** Loop labels
+    - ~break~: terminate/exit a loop
+    - ~continue~: exit the current iteration and jump to the loop
+      header
+
+** Error related types
+   - Heavy use of ~Option<T>~ and ~Result<T, E>~
+
+*** Option
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    pub enum Option<T> {
+        None,
+        Some(T),
+    }
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Result
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    pub enum Result<T, E> {
+        Ok(T),
+        Err(E),
+    }
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Error handling
+
+*** Unrecoverable errors \rightarrow panics
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    fn get_data() -> Data {
+        ...
+        panic!("Cannot get data");
+    }
+    #+END_SRC
+
+*** Recoverable error with anyhow
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    fn get_data() -> Result<Data> {
+        ...
+        Ok(data) // return is only used for "early" returns
+    }
+    ...
+        let data = get_data()?;
+    ...
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Printing
+   When printing something, ~{}~ uses the ~std::fmt::Display~ trait
+   and ~{:?}~ uses the ~std::fmt::Debug~ trait.
+
+*** ~print!()~ and ~println!()~
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    let amount = 3;
+    let fields = vec![0,2,5];
+
+    println!("We have {} of {:?}", amount, fields);
+    #+END_SRC
+    Prints: ~We have 3 of [0, 2, 5]~
+
+** Deriving ~Debug~
+   To enable printing of structs or enums when their fields implement
+   ~Debug~ they can be derived with following annotation.
+
+*** Deriving ~Debug~
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    #[derive(Debug)]
+    struct Something {
+        id: usize,
+        item: String,
+    }
+    #+END_SRC
+
+** Implementing ~Display~
+*** Implementing ~Display~
+    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
+    use std::fmt;
+
+    struct Something {
+        id: usize,
+        item: String,
+    }
+
+    impl fmt::Display for Something {
+        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
+            write!(f, "{}: {}", self.id, self.item)
+        }
+    }
+    #+END_SRC
+
+
+** Use more functional language features
+   - ~vec![1, 2, 3].iter()~
+   - ~vec![1, 2, 3].iter().sum()~
+   - ~vec![1, 2, 3].iter().map(|x| x + 1).collect()~
+   - ~foo.into_iter().filter(|i| i.bar == 0).collect()~
+   - ~Iterator~ trait
+
+** Tests
+   - Use ~assert!()~ family
+   - Unit tests
+     - Put them into a test module
+     - Annotate the test module with ~#[cfg(test)]~
+     - Annotate the tests with ~#[test]~
+   - Documentation testing
+   - Integration testing
