Another gripe I have is that the Rust Book examples are all targeted at non-system programmers. It would have been nice if certain programs written in K&R book or from one of those books from the Bell Labs Unix folks (like "The practice of programming" or "software tools") is written in Rust as a demonstration.

You should be much happier with the second edition of the book.

(One of the reasons it's this way is largely historic: so much was changing in the lead-up to 1.0 that I couldn't add many examples, as things kept changing out from under me.)

Thanks. Where can I see the second edition draft?
