# Part 2 - Rust on your computer

You saw that we can learn almost anything in Rust just using the Playground. But if you learned everything so far, you will probably want Rust on your computer now. There are always some things that you can't do with the Playground like opening files or writing Rust in more than one just file. Some other things you need Rust on your computer for are input and flags. But most important is that with Rust on your computer you can use crates. We already learned about crates, but in the Playground you could only use the most popular ones. But with Rust on youn computer you can use any crate in your program.

This function can take anything with `Display`, so we gave it a `&str` and next gave it a `f64` and that is no problem for us. But the compiler doesn't look at generics, because it doesn't want to do anything at runtime. It wants to put together a program that can run by itself as fast as possible. So when it looks at the first part with `"Windy"`, it doesn't see `fn print_and_return_thing<T: Display>(input: T) -> T`. It sees something like `fn print_and_return_thing(input: &str) -> &str`. And next it sees `fn print_and_return_thing(input: f64) -> f64`. All the checking about traits and so on is done during compile time. That's why generic functions take a little bit longer to compile, because it needs to figure it out, and make it concrete (concrete means not generic).

One more thing: Rust in 2020 is mostly concerned about compile time, because this is the part that takes the longest. Every version of Rust is a little bit faster at compiling, and there are some other plans to speed it up. But in the meantime, here's what you should know:

Some other things you need to know are:
|

|

- `cargo new`. You do this to create a new Rust project. After `new`, write the name of the project and `cargo` will make the folder and all the files you need.
|

- `cargo clean`. When you add other crates to your `cargo.toml` file, your computer will download all the files it needs and they can take up a lot of space. If you don't want them on your computer anymore, type `cargo clean`.

|

One more thing about the compiler: it only takes the most time when you use `cargo build` or `cargo run` the first time. After that it will remember, and it will compile fast again. But if you use `cargo clean` and then run `cargo build`, it will have to compile slowly one more time.
