So maybe I should have read through The Book all the way to the end before rage quitting #rustlang

My biggest problem was smart pointers and I never made it past chapter 10

@ta1da What aspect of them did you find hard to understand? Do you have any experience with C or C++?
Maybe there's an opportunity to enhance The Book, idk.

@livingcoder yup I know a bit of c++ but not really at an advanced level.

But I can't blame The Book here. I just never got as far as chapter 15. I decided to revisit it now and it all makes perfect sense.
Only thought I have is that chapters 12 to 14 kinda give the impression that you've learned enough to start building with Rust but they are some pretty important things after that.
