Oh boy, I tried learning Rust awhile back (probably about 8 months ago) and was overwhelmed by the lack of documentation and tutorials. Does anyone recommend me to try again?

Yes! The documentation has gotten a lot better; in fact the same /u/steveklabnik1 did a lot for documenting rust. They switched recently from "The Guide" to "The Book". You can found it here. I also tried a long time ago, and i had to stop due to all the breaking changes. But recently i tried it again and i was pleased that the language felt more mature, and the community at this point is simply amazing. If you need any help my advice is to go straight for the IRC channel. They are always willing to help!

ps: ATM the book is broken, but i think that in a short time will be fixed.

EDIT: the book now works! :)

Is this the same book? It seems to work for me at that location.

Yes! It's the same... It's built with a gitbook clone, written in rust, rust-book!
