Good luck :) I love the language, but you'll need some perseverance to learn the more interesting parts like lifetimes and the borrow checker. I can recommend the book on rust-lang.org!

I will definitely be taking a read. I've tried to get into Rust before and it was a lot to be getting into (especially since I was also trying to learn Go at the time.)

But now, almost a year later, I think I finally have a pretty good handle on Go, so I think it's time to break out the Rust again.

I’m currently using Rust to make a program to manage my dotfile configuration/templating. I’m having fun, but it’s hard (and I’m porting something from Ruby that has a long history).
