   Is it practical to learn Rust if you're a competent programmer, by studying a large project? I opened one up and it's pretty daunting. I don't know Rust at all.

     @sun I think it's still recommended to just work through the rust book

     I've taken a few stabs at it, but am still very much a n00b. Fwiw, thus far I did find this was helpful. https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

     @sun the type system is self-explanatory if you know haskell, but the borrow checking affects the flow of the code so much that you have to study it in detail before you can read any rust code
