I'm about 20% in and I'm having a lot of fun. Rust seems like a great language to pick up for faster/lower-level programming, much better than C or C++. It seems to borrow all the good things that have come out of languages like Ruby, Python, or Go and wraps them up in an easy to work with package. A note of warning though: this book assumes the reader is proficient with at least one other language. Newbies may find this hard to get through.
Additionally, No Starch Press really outdid themselves with the physical book. The paper is thick, the print is sharp, and the cover/binding is done really well. It feels like a solid book that won't fall apart over the years of using and borrowing to others. Great job!

Binding blowout on mile 0
Book contents seem good (I just started). The approach does seem different than other books, and I am excited to see how that works out. I post this before reading to completion so I can include the attached image of the binding falling apart after just hours of use. Last time I complained about delivery format/issues, the author hunted me down on LinkedIn and ‘suggested’ i retract my ‘unfair’ review - so I will completely *ignore* that issue when assigning stars.

Rust não é "linguagem modinha"(ouvi isso de um colega de curso), veio para ficar, o compilador ensina a programar de forma segura e compilação de projetos complexos não perde feio em comparação com C/C++ (programar em C++ é muito mais complexo que em Rust).
Rust tem potencial de ser uma linguagem para trabalhar com sistemas operacionais, bibliotecas e alguns softwares de maneira mais segura e eficaz que as linguagens atuais. Já existe sistemas embarcados que usam Rust como linguagem opcional. Uma parte do kernel do Windows foi re-escrito em Rust e o kernel do Linux também. Acho que a Apple, com seu macOS, provavelmente fará o mesmo (se já não foi feito, não estou por dentro das notícias da Apple). Para quem trabalha com desenvolvimento web, vai ser bom aprender Rust para aplicar em back-end ou para aplicar junto com WebAssembly(recomendo se inteirar sobre o assunto, muito promissor!).
