Rust's 2018 roadmap
I started learning Rust over the weekends and I think the second edition "The Rust Programming Language" is among the best introductory books on a programming language I have read (well half way so far).As someone not only new to Rust but also systems programming in general I especially appreciate that the chapters include actual reasoning about why things are how they are in Rust and that they seem pretty open about drawbacks of the choices. As well as the use of precise language instead of trying to be too cute and overly beginner friendly.An example for this is the lengthy page on Strings:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch08-02-string...It really makes me feel you want me to understand what I'm doing from the start instead of getting a generic app out of the door as quick as possible and then tediously figure out the next basic steps from screencasts, scattered blog posts etc.Also big plus for having the book and api doc available offline by default!I'm going to try to come by #rustdoc and see if there something I could contribute.
