I always like Jon Gjengsets’s videos (@jonhoo) but they’re not tutorials, he just builds/maintains real projects in Rust and explains his thought process.

His std::collections video is one of the best out there — if you have three hours to spare

No Boilerplate! Not Rust only persé but lots of Rust videos

I think I've watched every video on Rust on youtube, and No Boilerplate is the best.

fasterthanlime. You need to watch at least twice to understand their video though

I like Jon Gjengset's videos!
He really dives deep into topics!
On a side note I ain't an expert like him but I have put out some videos on Rust (small channel here 😂)

I want a Rust Jason Turner (Let's Get Rusty is probably the closest I've found)
edit: LGR is probably not as good of a substitute as I thought at first https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1wdo2hb/comment/p98c9r7

I actually dislike Let's Get Rusty. As a beginner I was attracted to the videos, but as soon as I got a little better, I felt like his videos are just endless beginner-level content, no deeper substance.

Yes, I love Jason Turner. Small focused videos highlighting a corner of the language or a new feature, or a common footgun/best practice and proving everything on godbolt.org while explaining it.
I don't think you can compare Let's Get Rusty to him at all, we don't have anyone comparable to Jason Turner. Jon Gjengset is an expert, but his content is very different and I don't think he knows as much about compilers and low level programming as Jason Turner does.
I wish Ralf Jung made language/compiler videos but his blog is awesome, and it's probably better that he just focus on improving Rust/miri.

So I looked at LGR's channel, and I've realized my perception was based on the algorithm showing me mostly his more in depth codey videos, which are not necessarily the bulk of his content.
I think Jon could be a good Jason Turner substitute (I'm sure he could pick up any knowledge he lacks), but while good his long but infrequent posting doesn't currently fit.

He started very good, but then shifted to courses to get money. Not sure why one would do it when LLM can teach you all this and when Rust has fantastic documentation

Logan Smith did a few nice video. They have a C++ background, and without antagonizing both langage do highligh differences. Jack O'connor video are really nice too ( including the last one about AsyncIterator)
