Overview

The next iteration of "The Rust Programming Language", re-written from scratch based on experience teaching Rust.

The repository is here, and you can see the rendered current draft here.

Status

We have a draft of all chapters, other than the appendix. Rust 1.18 was the first Rust to ship with a draft. We're continuing with the editing process, you can see what stage each chapter is at here.

TODO: update status here.

Do you want me to give a status, or is this for you to check in on?

aturon commented 7 years ago

@steveklabnik I've sent you an invite to collaborate; please edit the issue text directly, however you'd like.

Recommended change As of 1/31/07 -> As of 1/31/17

golddranks commented 7 years ago

I'd like to see unambiguous dates like 31th of Jan, 2017 anyway, since the order of the fields is different in different countries and not all dates are unambiguous.

sophiajt commented 7 years ago

As a new immigrant to New Zealand, I second @golddranks - having to try to guess which comes first is a pain. Something less ambiguous would be nice.

@golddranks we should all just start using ISO 8601 format (2017-01-31). See https://xkcd.com/1179/

steveklabnik commented 7 years ago

I've updated the description as of today.
