Rust Assessment Test

A Rust Assessment Test evaluates candidates on their proficiency in Rust, a modern systems programming language known for its emphasis on safety, performance, and concurrency. This assessment covers key aspects of Rust, including:

1. Rust Basics: Understanding fundamental concepts in Rust, including variables, data types, and basic syntax.
2. Ownership and Borrowing: Proficiency in Rust's ownership system, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes, to ensure memory safety.
3. Concurrency: Skills in concurrent programming in Rust using features like threads and message-passing with channels.
4. Error Handling: Knowledge of Rust's Result and Option types for effective error handling in Rust applications.
5. Pattern Matching: Mastery of pattern matching in Rust, including match expressions and destructuring.
6. Structs and Enums: Understanding and working with structs and enums to create custom data types in Rust.
7. Traits: Proficiency in defining and implementing traits, Rust's mechanism for code reuse through interface-like functionality.
8. Closures: Skills in using closures (anonymous functions) in Rust for flexibility and code abstraction.
9. Lifetime Annotations: Knowledge of annotating lifetimes in Rust to specify the scope of references and prevent dangling references.
10. Concurrency with Actix or Tokio: Familiarity with popular Rust libraries like Actix or Tokio for asynchronous and concurrent programming.
11. Smart Pointers: Understanding and working with smart pointers like Rc and Arc for reference counting in Rust.
12. Unsafe Rust: Knowledge of writing and working with unsafe code in Rust when necessary for low-level operations.
13. Cargo: Proficiency in using Cargo, Rust's package manager and build tool, for managing dependencies and building projects.
14. Testing in Rust: Writing and running tests using Rust's built-in testing framework to ensure code correctness.
15. Ownership Patterns: Applying ownership patterns, such as the builder pattern, in Rust for creating flexible and ergonomic APIs.
16. Concurrency Safety: Understanding how Rust ensures thread safety and prevents data races through its ownership system.
17. Web Development with Actix or Rocket: Skills in using Rust frameworks like Actix or Rocket for building web applications.
18. Futures and Async/Await: Familiarity with asynchronous programming in Rust using futures and async/await syntax.
19. WebAssembly (Wasm): Proficiency in compiling Rust code to WebAssembly for web development.
20. Practical Applications: Applying Rust skills to practical scenarios, such as systems programming, embedded development, or web development.

Our Rust Assessment Test provides a comprehensive evaluation of candidates' skills in Rust programming, ensuring their ability to leverage this language effectively for building safe and performant systems.
