CLI Book: Rust Version Typo #103

Closed sabrinagannon closed 5 years ago

sabrinagannon commented 5 years ago

I'm just working through this book now and noticed what I think is a version typo. I didn't find any related issues and am brand new to Rust, so I'm hoping I'm not off base with these.

The first chapter states

Make sure you run Rust 1.31.0 (or later)

but looking at the blog and other language resources, the most recent version appears to be Rust 1.30.1.

Really enjoying the book so far, it's exactly what I was looking for!

Wait just a few more hours ;)

No worries! I really appreciate that you took the time to open an issue here.

To give a bit more context: The book ws written to be used with latest Rust version, as it gives us a few very convenient features, that make the code examples more approachable. This release was scheduled for today, and I hoped most people would first find the book at a time where 1.31 was already available. You were just an hour early for my plan to work :)

If you want to know more about this version, and why it is a pretty big deal, check out this post.

I'm so glad to hear it! That means a lot to me! <3

Since you said you are new to Rust, I'm especially interested in the parts where you needed to look up stuff that were not mentioned anywhere – I tried to link to some of the chapters of the "Rust book", but I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement.
