Hey!
I’m a professional software engineer with several years of experience using Rust. Unfortunately I don’t really have the time to contribute to Lemmy directly myself, but I love teaching other people Rust so if:
- You are curious about Rust and why you should even learn it
- You are trying to learn Rust but maybe having a hard time
- You are wondering where to start
- You ran into some specific issue
… or anything to do with Rust really, then feel free to ask in the comments or shoot me a PM 🙂
C++ knowledge should make it easy to understand Rust. In a lot of ways, the Rust compiler is just enforcing all the stuff you need to do in C++ anyways in order to avoid undefined behaviour.
I think The Book is fine, that’s what I used to learn. You can also learn quite a bit by just reading the standard library documentation, which is very nicely structured.
