It's gets across most of the information, but it doesn't have a very compelling flow of examples. It teaches how to use language features rather than walking through building something with those features. For example, the sections on owned boxes and borrowed pointers could be done by walking through the implementation of a singly-linked list. It's incredibly hard to actually do this without using too many features before they've been introduced. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
