I'm a backend C#(.NET)/JS(node.js), and frontend JS(angular/react) dev. I kinda regret going into a corporate web dev field. The JS stack is terrible, work is mundane and monotonous. That's why I'm trying to learn myself something different. Glad to hear that the official book will be available in print. The O'Reilly's book looks decent too, however it might be a little outdated already, considering how fast Rust is evolving.

Cool! So, one thing that may be of interest is the Rust/WebAssembly work; https://github.com/ashleygwilliams/wasm-pack https://github.com/ashleygwilliams/wasm-pack is a huge part of this story and is very open to new contributors who are just learning Rust. On the server, there's a lot of churn right now, as async/await is being worked on in the compiler, futures are landing in the standard library, and the general ecosystem is undergoing a huge upgrade. So it also needs a lot of work, but may be harder without already knowing Rust. One good thing to remember is that while it may be a little out of date, that just means it's missing some things. Nothing in it is wrong, it just is missing new APIs that may make some things a bit nicer.
