Teaching myself Rust through the medium of coordinate system transforms and FFI
Rust Programming Language
Transforming coordinates from one coordinate reference system to another is slow, and usually done in bulk, so it’s a great candidate for low-level, multithreaded code, accessed via FFI from higher-level languages to facilitate easy I/O and visualisation. When Rust hit 1.0 last year, I decided to write a library to convert from latitude and longitude coordinates to British National Grid eastings and northings, in order to learn the language. The result is the lonlat_bng crate and the convertbng
