* Rust

** What is Rust?

*** Rust, the language
    - About 10 years young (2010)
    - Memory safe without gcing, optional ref counting
    - Ownership, lifetimes, traits
    - Variables are immutable by default and can be shadowed
    - Performance of idiomatic Rust is comparable to the performance
      of idiomatic cpp

** How to install

*** Install Rust
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf \
      https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
    #+END_SRC

*** Install nightly Rust (needed for Rocket)
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ rustup toolchain install nightly
    #+END_SRC

*** Install rustfmt (code formatter)
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ rustup component add rustfmt
    #+END_SRC

*** Install clippy (linter and static code analysis)
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ rustup component add clippy
    #+END_SRC

* Rocket

** What is Rocket?
   #+BEGIN_QUOTE
   Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write
   fast, secure web applications without sacrificing flexibility,
   usability, or type safety.
   #+END_QUOTE

*** Features

**** Col left
     :PROPERTIES:
     :BEAMER_col: 0.45
     :END:
     - Type Safe
     - Extensible
     - Templating
     - Cookies

**** Col right
     :PROPERTIES:
     :BEAMER_col: 0.45
     :END:
     - Streams
     - Testing (Unit tests)
     - Typed URIs

* Diesel

** What is an ORM?
   Object-relational-mapping is a programming technique for converting
   data between incompatible type systems using the paradigms of your
   programming language.

*** Pros
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col: 0.45
    :BEAMER_env: block
    :END:
    - Models are DRY (don't repeat yourself)
    - Cleaner separation
    - Prepared and sanitised queries
    - Changes are versioned

*** Cons
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col: 0.45
    :BEAMER_env: block
    :END:
    - Debugging can get more complicated (performance)
    - No need to learn SQL

** Prerequisites ~diesel_cli~

*** Setup Diesel for default DBMS
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ sudo apt install libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev \
      default-libmysqlclient-dev
    $ cargo install diesel_cli
    #+END_SRC

*** Setup Diesel for SQLite only
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    $ sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
    $ cargo install diesel_cli -no-default-features \
      --features sqlite
    #+END_SRC

** How does that look in Rust

*** Define a struct
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col: 0.50
    :BEAMER_env: block
    :END:
    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
    #[derive(Queryable)]
    pub struct NewComment<'a> {
        name: &'a str,
        email: &'a str,
        comment: &'a str,
    }
    #+END_SRC

*** Insert something
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col: 0.45
    :BEAMER_env: block
    :END:
    #+BEGIN_SRC rust
    let user = NewUser {
        name: "foo",
        email: "foo@bar.baz",
        comment: "A comment",
    };

    insert_into(comments)
        .values(&user)
        .execute(conn);
    #+END_SRC

* Lets code something

** Lets create a small web app
   A mini text board where everybody can post and reply.

*** Caution
    HTML is not disabled!

** Let us start

   #+LaTeX:\includegraphics[width = 0.7\textwidth]{img/challenge-accepted-lets-code-it.jpg}
   #+END_CENTER

* Conclusion

** What did we do?
   - Setup Rust and Diesel
   - Create a project with Rocket and Diesel prerequisites
   - Handle a SQLite DB with Diesel
   - Create Tera templates

** What did you hopefully learn!

** Two small projects
