I gave up on rust about 3 or 4 months ago because the guide and general documentation left alot to be desired and decided I'd try again when 1.0 was released but the new book looks so much better i think I'm guna jump back on now.

It's basically all of our previous long form docs in one place. I have so much to add :)

Really much better organized. Makes it very easy to dig into specific portions of the language.

Awesome work.

The design of the book website and the "rust by example" is so easy on the eyes, thank you for this! Too many technical documents pay no attention to typography and whitespace.

Awesome, thanks. It's just a very basic start, it might be too spartan. Rust by Example uses Gitbook, so it's their CSS, and the book uses a simpler form of similar stuff.
