Best path to learn rust
You absolutely must write programs, preferably using tests to ensure you are creating correct and reproducible code. May I suggest starting with my book, Command-Line Rust (O'Reilly, 2022). All the code/data/tests are in https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust Note that there are branches showing how to use the 4.x version of clap (command-line argument parser) rather than the 2.33 that was current when the book was published.

How to start learning a systems language
I think the best way to start learning a programming language is to write lots of small programs that you probably already know. Rust is a perfect command-line language, so I think it makes sense to start by implementing simple programs like "head" and "grep." I also think one should always learn to write and run tests, so I present my GitHub repo of inputs and tests you might like to use to write 14 such standard Unix command-line utilities: https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust If you want guidance on the language, I wrote a book called Command-Line Rust (O'Reilly, 2022) that explains all this code. One caveat is that the "clap" (command-line argument parser) module was at 2.33 when I published but is now v4, so you should look at the appropriate branches for versions of the programs that use the "builder" and "derive" patterns for that module. Or just use any old command-line parser you like as there's no requirement to use "clap." Best of luck to you!

What is the best way to learn Rust from a complete beginner programmer?
You must write programs in a language in order to learn it. I also firmly believe that learning how to write and run tests is critical to learning any language. I wrote Command-Line Rust (O'Reilly, 2022) for the beginner (in Rust, at least) and with a focus on writing and testing small programs from very simple "Hello, world!" and getting increasingly more complex. You can look at https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust for the code/inputs/tests. Best of luck!

Stuck at 4.3 of the rust book. It's so hard for me.
I'm the author of Command-Line Rust (O'Reilly, 2022), which I wrote to introduce the language slowly to beginners by writing and testing short, focused programs. You can look over the code/tests/data at https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust. Note that there are branches that show the same programs using a more recent version of the "clap" crate.

How do i get started with rust as my first language. I need tips and useful advice from rustians thanks.
I wrote Command-Line Rust (O'Reilly, 2022) to guide beginners in the language. You are challenged to write small functions and programs using tests to verify that everything is correct. You can look over the code and tests at https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust. Best of luck in your journey!

How to Practice and Learn Rust for Production Level Code?
I like to suggest that students write programs they already know (or at least understand). For instance, you probably understand that head shows the first few lines of a text file, and you probably can already implement some version of that in one or two languages you know. Try that in Rust. I wrote 14 BSD/GNU command-line utilities in Rust for learning purposes. I wouldn't consider these high-performance/production programs as they are tailored to learning the language. I also stress how to test programs, so there are tests and inputs you can use to verify your programs match the output of the original programs (or you can modify these to suit your own tastes for how you would like them to work). https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust

Examples from Command-Line Rust Book in Clap 4 Derive API [Blog Post] [Beginners]
Yes, u/hunkamunka already wrote me, forgot to include the link. He created a clap 4 branch here. However, it still uses the builder API. I did this mostly as a learning experience for myself but I think it would be cool to have the examples from the book in both.

There's also Easy Rust, an effort in translating the Rust Book into Simple English (limited vocabulary, limited use of idioms), which has now become a Book.

I have returned
Along with the Book, I wrote a book after learning Rust that's for absolute beginners, and doesn't even require installing Rust. It's almost entirely done in the Playground so you can just open up a tab in your browser and follow along. As far as paid books are concerned, my favourite is Programming Rust.

What is the best course to start learning?
I made a book for absolute complete beginners, after which the Book should be easy to understand. After that I'd recommend Programming Rust (my favourite book on Rust).

I have to admit. The free code camp course is a bit more sparing than I would have preferred. How did everyone learn Rust?

It's been 20 days since I started learning rust as my first language. Terrible experience. Should I move forward?
I put together a book that goes over most of the same content found in The Book but written with easy / straightforward English (partially for English L2 speakers but also for English speakers that just want the info in as straightforward a package as possible).

What do you think is the best way to learn Rust?
Second incredibly biased guy chiming in: here's a book I wrote that explains Rust in simple terms, plus 186 videos to accompany it. My keyboard is very clackety but otherwise people seem to like it.
