Hi everyone, Tim here! Happy to answer any questions

[@jppbkm]

Really, really enjoyed the interview. I've got a python background and have started learning a bit of Go and Rust lately. Rust has been tougher because I don't have the systems knowledge background. I'll definitely be checking out your book!

Hi Tim, I recently got the book after years of flirting with Rust on the side of my C#/,Net career (a romantic for something more real haha). My question is, how good do you feel about the Erreta as it stands on the Manning site? Is there any traps you can warn me about going into the book that aren't there, particularly in regards to how the environment has changed since first edition.

Hi Jessie, interesting question. I don't think that you will find any large gaps. There are a few things that I need to update on the GitHub repository, but they should be minor.

This is pathetic. The WASM side effect TS folks looking under the hood. tl;dr **Don't buy that book if you are a comp sc engineer: you'll get 10% of Rust and 90% of things you already know probably, and poorly explained.** - "Oh I want to learn Rust, let's write a book about rust, then! I wish I were a computer science engineer.". - "Segmentation fault? what does that mean?" Imagine that guy looking into the breakdown of a page table or translation look aside buffers. What a thrill! - Funny that folks who haven't got a clue about assembly and operating system inner workings can be trusted with writing a book about Rust. This is what you get when javascript or python script kiddies discover such things as heap and stack. This is where I had to leave that talk. Too painful to watch.

You should read the book.
