:D

If you have the time, as you do this, I'd love to hear about your experience. Email me any time.

(I maintain Rust's docs, and am also starting to write some introductory curriculum. Hearing from people like you is _invaluable_.)

Oh, okay! Cool! I didn't realize it'd be valuable to anyone. I'll try to put together something for you, and I'll take it seriously so that it isn't biased one way or the other. I have some stuff coming up, but after seeing some incredibly neat stuff written in Rust, I'm planning on doing a project myself, and I'll email you with a raw braindump of my first experiences with the language, along with a list of previous languages I've learned as well as my experience level with each. Thank you for maintaining Rust's docs!
Great, thanks! (And Mozilla is owed some thanks for paying me, otherwise I wouldnt have nearly as much time to do it)
