Thanks, Rustlings doesn’t sound like what I want either. I was hoping for a counterpart of Stroustrup’s C++ Reference Manual, or Riehle’s “Ada Distilled” or even K&R’s book on C. Something that systematically describes the language rather than distractions like the toolchain, mini projects, cutesey analogies, etc. I’m being too persnickity though, mostly because it hasn’t been important to me so far.

Sounds like you want the Rust Book: doc.rust-lang.org/book/

  I’ll probably have to read through it or maybe the Ferrocene standard, but for now, Comprehensive Rust is pretty good. I’ve been busy today but hope to finish it soon. Is it really true as someone mentioned that Rust binaries are always statically linked? That has its attractions but I would hope it’s controllable. Can you use the regular linker (ld) with it?

    Rust libraries are statically linked by default yes, except for a couple of rather low level ones (glibc and a couple others I think) - Honestly though I’d be surprised if you come across a situation where it’s something necessary to think about in practice
