Hello,

I don't know whether you add it or not - it is not a book, but it helps to visualize memory model and form data structure based on your requirements.

I am talking about https://github.com/usagi/rust-memory-container-cs

Since I don't know if you see this repo/book as a reference to only literacy sources or as an index containing knowledge about rust. I perceive it as an index.

Kinda hard to distinct goal of this repo since it also includes docs of rust apps themselves (Amethyst Game Engine or rg3d Cheat/Guide Book), which I believe shouldn't be here since by that logic you could include whole awesome-rust into this book, but then useful information (how-tos, rust memory model etc.) would get shadowed - therefore such apps should be mentioned in awesome-rust instead.

When this book will get bigger - I see it that you accept any source - you probably also have to trim information based on their qualities.

awesome-rust is very good - I wasn't aware of it. I wonder if it's best to reference that and keep LBORB for online (md)book format resources?

May be an option. Their learning section seems to contain practices for rust, not necessarily how-tos building things with rust. Don't know if it is deliberate or PR for these tutorials weren't just posted yet.

@danipoma If you feel like submitting a PR for this issue or any of the others you raised, that would be great!

You could test the water by sending them a PR. ;-)

I could and maybe I will try to do so. But it might be kinda sad to see that information contained within lborb would get pushed into their repo. Theoretically then this book wouldn't need to exist. Kinda "sad" talking about it if you know what I mean.

I think this book still has a purpose - to be a collection of primarily mdbook format books. I really like this format and I think others do to. So I would be comfortable duplicating entries with awesome-rust. If they want to be a catch-all, it's up to them. Or we could send them a PR pointing here so they don't feel the need to list all the mdbooks.

I was suggesting raising PR(s) for the non-book resources you have found so we don't need to bother including them here.

I didn't expect you were not aware of it. It is kinda like big index of things made in language and about that language. And someone did awesome - index of awesome indexes.

You might find some interesting topics there for your lborb as well.

Closing since this issue as it was discussed that lborb is for books in mdBook format.
