+1 for Rust, the learning curve can be pretty daunting, but once you're over the hump you'll never want to go back
Agree. The official book is a really good start though, and available for free. https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/
I actually ordered the paperback version of the book. I hope it's not too outdated compared to the online version, I just enjoy reading in actual paper :P
The second edition was published last Feb (2023) I believe. I read it on my Kindle, having "flicked through" the online version about 6 months prior, and yeah having it page by page with bookmarks etc was almost as good as paper, but far superior to the web version and I was able to read it cover to cover and gain a lot from it. I immediately then read about 4 other books on Rust! Can recommend "Rust Atomics & Locks" by Mara Bos, and "Rust for Rustaceans" by Jon Gjengset for the next level up.
Yeah, I did indeed buy the second edition! Thanks for the suggestions! Cheers.
