## learning_rust[0] After a heated up discussion with myself & my brain about which static typed langauge to learn, I was thinking about learning `Go` & `Rust` for a long time but I was not sure which one to learn first, I finally decided to learn Rust first because I think it is more suitable for my current skill level. What do I mean by that? I mean that I am not a beginner in programming but I am not an expert either, But I have a fair understanding of programming concepts & I have a good understanding of functional programming. I like tinkering with operating systems, processes, threads, etc.. Curious about how memory management work under the hood. ![Ferris](https://miro.medium.com/max/450/1*LBHHLYrwLCSD0CYu-rfWMA.png) So I thought `Rust` is a good fit for me, I am not sure if I am right or not but I will find out soon. Let's start with the basics, I am going to learn Rust by following the official manual [The Rust Programming Language](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/title-page.html). Imma try to write a post for 3 chapter each time, so I can keep track of my progress and can share my experience. PS: This is what motivated more to learn Rust xD; <br/> `In most situations, we’ll lead you to the correct version of any code that doesn’t compile.` ![The Rust Programming Language](https://i.ibb.co/yVSS22N/Screenshot-from-2022-09-16-22-33-54.png) ## Some Intresting things about Rust I found when I was pouring through the web - Rust’s unofficial Mascot is an orange crab named Ferris - Karen Rustad Tölva drew the mascot, and Rust is part of her name.(Credit: Reddit) - Rustacean is a term for Rust programmers.
