3 things I wish I knew before learning Rust as a Python developer.

< Tip 1: Map, don't translate >

Don't ask "how do I write Python feature x in Rust?" Ask "what problem does Python feature x solve — and how does Rust solve it?"

@bbelderbos This was a BIG one for me.

"But I just want a dict, dangit!" :)

Figuring out how the idioms translate and actually learning to "talk like a local" is an important step in actually learning a new language.
