Can you give an example of 2? Where have they invested in teaching systems programming 101? Is there a specific blog? Thanks.

The Rust book has this chapter, for example: http://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/the-stack-and-the-heap....

Ah neat, I did not know about the book, thanks.

[steveklabnik]

No worries. I'm currently in the process of re-writing it for the second edition...

[bogomipz]

Would it be worth including a chapter(s) on writing Linux system utilities using Rust?

I hope you announce it on HN when the rewrite is finished.

I don't want to put Linux above other platforms by only including it. And it's already a huge task on its own.

I will for sure. It's also going to end up getting published by No Starch.
