The resources mentioned in this list are all pretty good. However, they might be intimidating for a beginner. A beginner wants one or two high quality sources to get started with. That's the Rust Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/) or the interactive version of the same book (https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu)

Also, not sure how this resource classifies Rust for Rustaceans as a beginner level book.

Yeah. It still starts pretty shallow, but by page 33 it has a listing of a non-trivial manual implementation of Debug for some arbitrary type which is iterable, and that's not something a beginner would even need to write, let alone gain insight by having it dissected.

Agree. The author explicitly states its for experienced Rustaceans. Even the title makes that clear.
Agreed, just starting Rust for Rustaceans (which I think is intended to be intermediate / next steps after TRPL) and eyes are glazing a bit about variance. Need to review a Crust of Rust or two, I know he's talked about this before.
