What would you guys recommend to learn Rust? Official https://rust-lang.org/learn/ page or is there any more interesting or fun source to learn, book or webpage? I have fond memory of learning the basics of Ruby reading Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby

I had to crash course Rust for a job a few years ago. I read through the official guide and got their book. The book was garbage as it never really answered any of the difficult parts with any sort of rigor. This was also before AI so I just pulled up the standard liibrary source code and read through it. Then I made a pointless dummy project that was over engineered to learn how to do things.

Borrow Checking and Lifetimes. That is what you need to really grok before you can use it. Make something that passes data around beyond the life of the code that creates it.

"Learn Rust Easily" for Android is a pretty clean and simple app. I've finished the first section, so far so good. Maybe it's the best experience you can get out there.
