Speaking as someone who is really enjoying learning Rust, time taken to read the book isn't a good metric for understanding the language.
- t-3 4y agoThe book is just a first step. The really important thing is "how much work do I have to do to get a decent level of foundational knowledge about the language", which is relatively little for either Go or Rust (or most other languages).

I might have agreed with this before I tried using Rust's strings, borrow checker and lifetimes in anger. I had some real speed bumps with these even given my prior knowledge of C#, Common Lisp and C.
