<p>Rust is a language that intrigues me. It seems it has a good deal of
|
||
|
|
protections and clever structures to prevent problems that other languages
|
||
|
|
have. And it usually outperforms C (at least, in the Euler tests).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But I really never really "got" the language just reading Rust By Example and
|
||
|
|
The Rust Programming Language. So I bought this book.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, it goes slowly to teach you the light intricacies of the language, but
|
||
|
|
it never, in any point, goes deep into it, which is really annoying. It tries
|
||
|
|
to pick a subject to tell how to code in Rust (using a theoretical game), but
|
||
|
|
it never completes it. You never see the final product of all the stuff it was
|
||
|
|
just explained. And some examples have nothing to do with it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The problem with shallowness of the book gets exponentially worse when talking
|
||
|
|
to complex subjects, like threading and unsafe blocks. Because it never goes
|
||
|
|
too deep, you end up handing with simple threads the basically just add
|
||
|
|
numbers, nothing something so complex that would actually require threads in
|
||
|
|
the first place.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, it seems the book was not reviewed. There is one paragraph saying one
|
||
|
|
thing (traits can't have implementations), just to, a few paragraphs later,
|
||
|
|
showing exactly the opposite (like a trait with an implementation). There are
|
||
|
|
two "We'll see X in the next section" with said next section just below it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It's an ok introduction to Rust, but it goes short in several places.</p>
