Learning Rust

Exercises, I want Exercises, no I need Exercises.<p>In order for me to learn anything, I need some form of &quot;homework&quot;. If you want to teach me a new language, a new framework, I need to &quot;get my hands dirty&quot;.<p>Working through exercises makes sure I actually understand what I am reading, and sometimes it even shows me I don&#x27;t understand what I thought I did.

From the github readme<p>&gt; I am a Sri Lankan Web Developer who lives in Vietnam. So I am not a native English speaker and just learning Rust<p>This guide is so well done, props to you. I haven&#x27;t worked with Rust yet but your docs make it seem so easy to work with.

I love those succinct introductions to languages, I find it easier to understand when you don&#x27;t have to read lots of text and languages possibilities are written as a series of quick examples.<p>What I miss from Rust learning material is a series of exercises that focus on reference, lifetime, ownership where you have to fix some code to make it compile.

Looks really nicely written and laid out.<p>One note on borrowing&#x2F;ownership that really made it click for me was that to move from &amp;mut T to &amp;T you have to transition through owning the value type, so:<p>&amp;mut T -&gt; T &lt;- &amp;T<p>Whichever scope holds the actual value-type is the only scope that can make that transition(absent cases like RefMut)

For devs, equally familiar in rust and python and ignoring libraries, would you say development speed in both languages is almost the same?

I really want to learn and use Rust, but just lack the motivation, especially when APIs turn out to be incomplete - I think the last one I saw was multicast not allowing me to set the send interface.<p>I guess the main draw for me to any given language is great libraries with great APIs. Python has those, Javascript has those, C++ has those, Rust... not so much yet.

This looks like a fairly nice website. For someone coming from a background of C and D, but familiar with quite a few others, I have to ask: what makes rust different and better? Aside from memory safety, what reason do I have to choose rust over another language?

How does this compare to the Rust Programming book?

This is very readable. Thanks!

I trying use rust, but I don&#x27;t know why sometimes cargo is like hanging to retrieve from github.

I used to know Rust, but I got tired of the churn and went back to Go.
