You don't have to build Rust alone

Rust is built by people who like helping people. Whether you are stuck on your first borrow or shipping at scale, there is a forum thread, a chat room, and a meetup with your name on it.

Users Forum

The official home for questions and long-form discussion. Browse categories, search past threads, or start your own — answers tend to arrive fast and stay useful for the next person.

Real-time chat

Drop into the community Zulip or Discord for quick questions, pairing sessions, and working-group chatter. Some of the fastest help in the ecosystem happens here.

Q&A on Stack Overflow

Search thousands of answered Rust questions tagged by topic. A great place to solve a compile error at 2 a.m. — and to give back by answering someone else's.

Conferences

RustConf, Rust Nation, and regional gatherings bring the whole ecosystem together for talks, workshops, and hallway conversations that turn into collaborations.

Annual & regional

Local meetups

Hundreds of Rust user groups meet monthly around the world. Search for one near you, or start your own — a venue, a few talks, and pizza is a proven recipe.

Monthly, worldwide

Study groups

Read through The Rust Programming Language together, pair on exercises, and keep each other accountable. The Rustlings course pairs especially well with a weekly group.

Beginner friendly

Read Rust

Follow the official blog and community-written posts to stay current on releases, deep dives, and the stories behind the language.

Watch Rust

Talk recordings from RustConf and meetups, plus tutorials and livestreams, make it easy to learn by watching others think out loud.

Contribute code

Rust has issues labeled for newcomers in the compiler, standard library, docs, and tooling. Pick one, open a pull request, and a reviewer will guide you through it.
