What do you think about Rust for Rustaceans? I read it and there are very niche and useful information there about Rust that I didn't see anywhere. It's a solid book but for a book about programming there are so few real code examples that it can come off dry. I just bought Rust atomic and locks and it seems exercise based, so I'm excited to finish it. The first chapter seems promising
- timeon 2y agoAs title implies, Rust for Rustaceans is not for those that are just starting with the language.
- akkad33 2y agoMy gripe is not about it being not beginner friendly, but it not having many code examples for a programming Book. One doesn't preclude the other imo
- kshri24 2y agoYou are right about it not being a beginner friendly book. Hence why I placed it lower in the order of books to study. Yeah Rust atomics and locks is essential if you truly want to understand low-level concurrency. But you might have to also refer to the C++ std::atomics reference [1] to get a complete idea. It took me a while to grasp those concepts. [1]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic
