Some users suggest quickly going through all the documentation and then start writing whatever comes to mind, revisiting the documentation whenever something is not understood. They also caution against relying solely on ChatGPT as it frequently gives out incorrect code. Instead, they recommend starting with "the Book" and then working on some projects, like any other language.
Key takeaways:
- Learning Rust requires understanding the fundamentals before starting a project to avoid frustration.
- Key concepts to learn include Result and Option, references/mutable references, ownership and borrowing, traits, generics, Box, RC, Refcell, threads with Arc/Mutexes, std::sync - channels(tx, rx), and tokio for async runtime.
- It's recommended to read the 'Rust Book', make small programs, and take up an open source project in Rust.
- ChatGPT may not always provide accurate code, hence it's advisable to refer back to the documentation and work on projects.
