Is Rust Used Safely by Software Developers?

I can’t imagine how reading books about Rust will help you a lot. There’s a metric ton of excellent practices for commercial project work that are rarely mentioned in theoretical guides. There are good tutorials out there that recommend de facto standards (namely widely liked libraries plus language idioms that go well with them) and IMO many books would skip over these, making you learn Rust’s core constructs instead – and there are many of them.

I am not saying the books aren’t good. Actually the official e-books (on websites) are of an amazing quality. But be advised – it’s a lot of material either way.

Rust absolutely isn’t something that you will learn well over a course of a month, even. Very likely to be a 5-6 months worth of journey indeed.
