Learn Rust

[dharma66]

Get to grips with Rust language, and get some appreciation of idioms and style.

Let’s try to get to a place where we are all familiar with core rust features, such as:

• Variable mutability, ownership, borrowing
• Strings, slices, chars
• Lifetimes
• Lack of null (Option types and the unit type ,(), )
• Functions (module, member), closures, higher order functions
• Traits
• Some familiarity with the standard library
• Unit testing, integration testing
• Code structure (modules, crates)
• Macros
• Add other items as appropriate...

If you like Stroustrup, you might like the overview of Rust given in Section 2 of this academic article. I found it helped understand borrowing and lifetimes quite a bit.
