Can we stop with this condescending nonsense?
Can we stop tone-policing friendly heads-up? It's all a long-winded recommendation and reminder to go back to the Rust book if (or rather when) you get stuck.
Even Bryan Cantrill ended up reading through the book, going step by step. There's no shame to it.
I don't find "Oh my sweet summer child :)" all that friendly, I find it condescending and weird. Recommending the Rust book I have no issue with.
It means as much as "You have not yet experienced the hardships I have, and therefore have an idealistic view of things".
As to weird well yes it's a Game of Thrones reference.
