    The Dark Arts of Advanced and Unsafe Rust Programming

    • I would say learning Rust is feasible for a newer dev. Maybe don't dive into intricate lifetime management and stay away from the https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ for the time being and just follow the "book" https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ . Do the rustlings exercises and you'll probably feel that this is something you can overcome as they also come with hints. If you really want to dig deep into systems programming I've heard good things about "Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems Development".
