Learn rust from scratch
Those last months I decided to learn this new fancy and hipster language, so let me share a couple of links I would now recommend. I'm coming from mostly python, but a bit of functional experience with scala, so I'm comfortable with the typing system (and I even use it in python).

Rust is secure
You'll find a similar sentence everywhere. But what does it mean secure? If you com from python or java, it will probably be hard to understand what it means, since we don't have to think about physical memory (RAM). But in C for example, you need to handle that manually, leading to possible unintended errors.
* Python and Java handle this using garbage collectors
* Rust handles it with the Ownership system. Just one piece of code can be the owner of a memory segment at the same time

Rust API
Installation The DuckDB Rust API can be installed from crates.io. Please see the docs.rs for details. Basic API Usage duckdb-rs is an ergonomic wrapper based on the DuckDB C API, please refer to the README for details. Startup & Shutdown To use duckdb, you must first initialize a Connection handle using Connection::open(). Connection::open() takes as parameter the database file to read and write from. If the database file does not exist, it will be created (the file extension may be .db, .duckdb, or anything else). You can also use Connection::open_in_memory() to create an in-memory database. Note that for an in-memory…
