I just want to go on record as saying there will never be a *comprehensive* Beej's Guide to Rust. There will never be another comprehensive Beej's Guide to Any Language, for that matter. I've learned my lesson. :)

C is one of the most simple languages there is, and it's YOUGE. There's a good reason other books skim over the library functions. The only saving grace is that C is relatively mature and (hopefully) doesn't change much every decade. Rust is changing so quickly it'd be a near-full-time job just to keep up.

Maybe I'll write some blog posts about Rust sometime as I improve with it. I think the language is all kinds of fun.

And the free Rust books and tutorials that are out there are already awesome.
