Even if you are not into Rust, I'd recommend this book if you want to get into low-level and/or embedded programming. It's an exceptionally well written introduction into the most important topics there and ~80% of the book are not specific to Rust (or can be transferred just as well to other languages).


Thanks for this comment. I’ve had this book sitting on my To Be Read stack for about 10 months but kept bumping it down because I don’t use Rust, but the title and ToC was compelling enough for me to buy it and hope for non-Rust specific content. Even if your 80% estimate is 20% to large a guess, I’m definitely going to pull it up to the top of the stack and read it instead of passing it over.


They can be transferred, but other languages have also other concepts and other mechanisms of synchronization. This Rust book seems solid, but I would not assume other languages to have the same mechanisms as in Rust the same way I wouldn't recomment using programming patterns from other languages in Rust.
