Just starting off with Rust, this has been the best resource for feeling comfortable with the language. author @fasterthanlime (fasterthanli.me)

This is the resource I've been looking for. I'm working my way through the book but it gets in the weeds really early. It's all fun and games and then chapter 4 just hits like a brick wall. Amos does a tremendous job explaining the why behind things, in a more wheels to the pavement way.

To be fair, Rust is far from the hardest language I've learned. That honor would go to C++. I'm actually really enjoying it. But I'd maybe compare to learning english. You can learn all the funky grammar rules, the funky spelling, the history that went behind all that funkiness. But it's filled with so many idioms that are just kinda baked in and not written down that it can get confusing fairly easily.
