User:Owittnan/A little Rust primer

This is a quick primer to Rust, in a similar vein to A Little C Primer. As with that aforementioned document, this is written by a novice, for novices. In this document I may draw parallels to languages such as C and Python, so familiarity with a programming language is recommended.

Prerequisites
Before you begin, you will need the Rust compiler and its associated tools. Visit the rustup site to get an installer for Windows or a command for Unix-based systems. If you cannot install Rust, the Rust playground is an online Rust compiler.

With that, let's get started!
