Rust

Official website | GitHub

A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Rust is the main language used by Eternaltwin. We use it for everything except the frontend (which is in TypeScript): clients to official server, database management, backend services, REST server, even project management.

Intallation

⚠ Etermaltwin relies on the latest stable Rust version.

It is recommended to follow the official installation guidelines and use the rustup tool to install Rust (even if your system provides it in its package manager).

1. Windows-only prerequisite: If you use Windows, first make sure you have the Visual Studio Build Tools. Only the two following components are required:
   • MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools
   • Windows 10 SDK (1.0.18362.0)
2. Follow the instructions on rustup.rs.

Check your installation
