Super useful diagram that explains all available transformations between Result and Option standard #Rust types and their interactions.

+1 on that
Unpopular opinion but #rust for rustaceans is not written in a way to make it easier to understand .
It lacks visual aids like graphs, tables, figures that would make it easier to understand. Some sentences goes beyond the scope of reader and is not emphasised on. It is a great book of knowledge but I think it can be made simpler to understand and read, reducing the friction will help more devs to become better at rust.
I have already read and understood the concepts from the book.
I’m reading the “Linux Systems Programming” book by Robert Love, while reading the 2nd chapter, File I/O and learning about open, read and write syscall. I implemented these programs as an exercise for myself
1. Example program to use open syscall
2. /etc/passwd file parser, using open read syscall
3. cp cmd using open read and write
I have spent more than 6hrs on the 2nd one because the read syscall fills the buffer and I have to read it line by line, later I used read to get single char.
