I'm coming mostly from Python for web development, so I haven't spent much time of my life thinking about strings. But I also usually have not really any clue what is going on under the hood when working with them. Which is fine, because most of the time it doesn't matter (as long as you don't do a+b+c... too much) in my work. What I like about the page is not that it makes strings easy to understand for a beginner, but that it doesn't hide difficulties about strings, that there are different ways to look at them and Rust doesn't presume a certain one. They say it isn't easy, then go on explaining why. To me this makes the steep learning curve feel justified. Where as some other language tutorials brush away any difficulty by saying "you don't need to understand that, just trust us." This is also a matter of perspective. I'm not looking at Rust for general web development (at least not as main language) but for more lower level stuff I want to get into. And least to me as a beginner in that domain it sounds very believable that those distinctions matter in that context
