The main problem i have with rust is that there is no real book for beginners. Sure thing there is the RustBook and RustByExample. But i need something to guide me. I dont want to slap things together. I want to learn how to do it right. All Rust recourses i found only told me how to do XXX in Rust. Nothing along the lines of: This is could be a real world example for YYY. In examples, you will always only find excessive .unwrap() use and functions which dont borrow anything.

Had the same feeling with go. Looking into big projects like syncthing helped a bit. But first i have to get a better hang of the language. Books like "Atomic in Scala" or "Clojure for the Brave" are taking your hand and guiding you through the Language. Even when taking a peak into books like "21st century C" i learned more, then when i simply force myself through go's "Gopl" or Rust's Book. I know i am probably not the right target group. But i really want to learn one of those languages in my free time, and i had a really hard time to do so.

After understanding go better, i still want to switch to rust. The build system with cargo pleases me and looks somehow cleaner as in go. I just create a project with 'cargo new XXX --bin' and start coding and building some kind of lib in my project. No problem. I go there are 100 different ways to start a project, and most time you will only find people complaining about vendoring etc.
