I am actually excited to learn rust as I try to learn lower level languages. Not so for any other language.

  I’m with you, but I wonder if it’s because I get a lot of my tech pulse from hacker news and the community for right or wrong seems so bullish. In my experience it was cool. I was impressed with the speed. I tried to make a cryptocurrency (non-distributed) and that was cool. I don’t think in low level yet, but I’m trying to figure it out.

  Same for me. I have no idea why, but it excites me to learn rust. Maybe because it have a so obvious source to learn from (The book), and that it still is fairly a new and "limited" language? I can't wait to get some major work-hurdles out of the way so I can go through the book. Not sure if I'll use Rust that much professionally, but my experience so far is that I learn so much about programming while I am learning it.

    I thought this post was about the book, rather than the language. The book is supposed to be up to date for Rust 2018. I suppose there's probably no need to wait for the book to catch up to the language.

      We will update the book, but only after the changes are finalized :)
