#2I know this is not going to make me an expert in Rust. That'll probably take 10 years. But this is just the kind of thing I was looking for to get started with Rust. Thanks for sharing it here.

Thanks for pointing that out.
As an utter newbie to Rust, I can't guess whether or not the tutorial has become dated.

If becoming an expert in Rust had to take 10 years, that would mean there are currently not a single Rust expert in the world

No, introductory Rust code would not have become dated in the past few years. It's possible there would be slightly shorter ways to do some things using new standard library functions.

#9This is, more or less, how I learned Rust circa 2015 (might have been a couple years later). I quickly started to write programs like I would have in C but got completely thwarted by the borrow checker because I wanted pointers everywhere. This made me throw my hands up and leave for other languages.
However, 8 years later I did eventually come to love rust after learning the One Weird Trick of using indices instead of pointers.
