[HN story title] Ask HN: Best Resources for Learning Rust Programming? I'd recommend checking out the Rust documentation itself. It's really comprehensive and provides a solid foundation for getting started.

@johnny5alive, yup Rust's documentation is excellent! Check out the `Rust by Example` and `Rustlings` resources specifically. So many practical examples that'll help you grasp the concepts.

I haven't started learning Rust yet, but it is on my todo list. I've heard it's super fast, like C++ but with modern memory safety features. Excited to dive in!

@codertobe, that's right! Rust manages memory safely so you can write high-performance applications. I've been loving it and would recommend joining the official Rust community on Discord too!

@cppsurvivor, I recently transitioned from C++ to Rust. The book `Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems Development` has been an invaluable guide in my learning process.

@codertobeand @cppsurvivor, when learning Rust, you may find my blog series on `Comparing Rust with C++` helpful too. I dive into their differences, esp. the performance implications, for various scenarios.

Contrasting Rust with other languages on Rosetta Code is a great way to learn this language. It helps you understand the syntax quickly and practice with real-world examples.

@rosettacode, that's true! I found that comparing the Rust solutions on Rosetta Code against the ones written in my comfort-zone languages enabled me to learn faster.
