Don't get me wrong, the learning curve is real!

However Python devs have a head start — you already think in types, you already care about elegance + clean code.

Which tip would've helped you most? Or any other ones?

Day 42 of learning Rust as a C# dev:
Rust didn’t just teach me a new language; it taught me to think differently.

I'm creating a #RustLang tutorial, and I asked #ChatGPT and #Gemini which should come first: functions or math.

Gemini says functions should come before math.

ChatGPT says the exact opposite.

So I went to Grok to break the tie:

"For a Rust tutorial, teach functions first. Functions are a core concept in Rust, foundational for structuring code and understanding syntax like fn, parameters, and return types...

Agree?
