I think that says something about the book. I initially read the book online as well, and was put off when actually trying to get something done and not succeeding.
Later, I bought "Programming Rust" by Jim Blandy, and it changed everything.

This is one of the books which I will gladly buy once more when it is updated.
Agreed, Programming Rust is really nice and I read a dozen of Rust books already. I'll be buying 2nd edition as soon as it's available.
also, i am not saying The book is any good beyond a tour of the language. come to think of it, it's actually less like TC++PL or D&EC++, and more like the tour of c++.
> it's just really a translation of c++ patterns into rust equivalences. no explanation, history
Perhaps. I came from a strong C++ background, maybe that's crucial when reading it. It all just made perfect sense to me.
