What do you think about Rust for Rustaceans? I read it and there are very niche and useful information there about Rust that I didn't see anywhere. It's a solid book but for a book about programming there are so few real code examples that it can come off dry. I just bought Rust atomic and locks and it seems exercise based, so I'm excited to finish it. The first chapter seems promising





As title implies, Rust for Rustaceans is not for those that are just starting with the language.

You are right about it not being a beginner friendly book. Hence why I placed it lower in the order of books to study.

Yeah Rust atomics and locks is essential if you truly want to understand low-level concurrency. But you might have to also refer to the C++ std::atomics reference [1] to get a complete idea. It took me a while to grasp those concepts.
