nein09@balrogboogie oh hey, if I want to learn rust, where's the best place for me to go? It sounds like it might suit me.
@nein09 great! there are a few resources that are worth checking out to get started.
"The Rust Programming Language" is probably the most complete beginner's resource: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/
it's also known in the community as just "the book."
There is a collection of beginners resources here: https://github.com/ctjhoa/rust-learning
One of my favorite resources is "rustlings" by carols10cents. It's basically a collection of "code katas" for rust: https://github.com/carols10cents/rustlings
@nein09 also, the community is pretty great at helping out beginners. irc.mozilla.org has a dedicated room for beginners, #rust-beginners. There is also #rust, along with a handful of other rooms for specific rust projects.
The Rust subreddit is pretty much the only reason I go to reddit anymore, that's at reddit.com/r/rust. The community is _very_ friendly, and if you'd like to view the CoC it's here: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/conduct.html
@balrogboogie yay! Thank you so much for all of this!
@balrogboogie I'm an old C++ nerd and all this JS I've been doing lately has made me want to get back down lower in the stack.
