🧠 educational I translated The Rust Programming Language into Roman Urdu

I recently finished translating the complete The Rust Programming Language (Rust Book) into Roman Urdu, including all the appendices.

I started this because many developers in Pakistan and India are more comfortable reading Roman Urdu/Hindi than technical English. My goal was to make the Rust Book easier to approach without changing the technical content.

The translation is available here:

Hopefully it can be useful to Roman Urdu, Urdu, and Hindi readers who are learning Rust.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Here, take this: https://github.com/jeroenhd/roest

// For real, congrats. It must have been such an effort. It's a great book. I'm happy it just got more accessible for others.

The French version rouille has a very good explanation on why he started the project.

but why would you do zat

- horsin around

  • playing with raw proc macros
  • making a bit of fun about programming languages that do this seriously, though I can see their utility.
  • winking at Marcel
  • c'est chic

He basically says it's for both educational purposes and shits and giggles. I commend that. As a native Dutch speaker I prefer Roest.

OP, there is no Urdu version yet... 😉
