I know it's not what you are looking for, but I am going to share that I have my eyes on the book "Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play" [0]. I will start working through it by the mid-end of 2022.

I am always bored out by most programming language books because most of them are listing for the language's API. This is accessible through the docs. Instead, I like books, where I get to learn something new by actually doing something. That's why this book.

I also like books that teach you what the language can do, how it makes your quality of life better, or maybe ups my level by a lot. Two such books that come to mind are: 1)SICP 2)Programming in Haskell by Hutton.

I hope to learn not only Rust with it, but also 2D game programming- or at least a little of it.

I started with the Rust book earlier and made some headway, but quickly lost interest because I was far away from doing something with it, and also my work is far removed from Rust.
