I had tried running Rust for a few months now, but it didn't really clicked until I went through this book.

Thanks to the great explanations of the concepts of rust, the helpful exercises and examples, I have not only since been able to contribute to the RustLang, but also am in the process of a PR for Servo, created a website using rocket.rs, and started using Rust at work.

It's definitely true that the initial hump of learning Rust was more intense than other languages such as Python, but this book helped to alleviate a lot of the initial pain.

Thanks carols10cents & steveklabnik!

You're very welcome! It means a lot to me that the book has helped you so much!! <3
Which book did you read this one or the stable one:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/doc/stable/book/

They aren't the same.

This unfinished one. Despite being unfinished, I still preferred the content over the current official one.
