+        putting Rust features in context for low-level C programmers who
+        maybe don’t have a formal CS background — the sort of people who

+      :Description: From the website: "There are many guides and
+        introductions to Rust. This one is something different: it is
+        intended for the experienced programmer who already knows many
+        other programming languages. I try to be comprehensive enough to be
+        a starting point for any area of Rust, but to avoid going into too
+        much detail except where things are not as you might expect. Also
+        this guide is not entirely free of opinion, including
