Abstract

Though the Rust community has expressed interest in designing introductory-level computer science courses around Rust, such courses remain hypothetical as of this writing. Thus, this paper has a speculative style, imagining one design for a future introductory-level Rust course. I do so in the context of a discussion on the state of programming languages in introductory courses and a review of students’ educational needs in these courses. My goal is to inform the development of such future courses.

Imagining Introductory Rust

Though the Rust community has expressed interest in designing introductory-level computer science courses around Rust, such courses remain hypothetical as of this writing. Thus, this paper has a speculative style, imagining one design for a future introductory-level Rust course. I do so in the context of a discussion on the state of programming languages in introductory courses and a review of students’ educational needs in these courses. My goal is to inform the development of such future courses.
