Introduction to Results in Rust
Result s are a fundamental concept to grasp to become a proficient Rust developer, but they can feel a little weird coming from JavaScript. But if we take it slow, they're not that hard to understand: Result is just a way to handle errors with a type . Below, I'm going to guide you through the ins and outs of the Result concept in the Rust programming language. Coming from JavaScript, one of the first stumps beginner Rust developers hit is on error handling . Rust statically types errors and treats them as any other data type, consolidating most of the error treatment code around the Result type . This is a lot different than exception-based approaches, so it's worth a closer look.
