When I read the book the 1s time, one thing I wanted to know whether Rust provided similar kind of pointers that C/C++ had, or how it managed memory. Then I found one new concept : Ownership which was interesting. But I stopped reading the documentation/book because of other priorities, knowing that it would take long time to learn.
Whenever I think to learn Rust, though, I also remember C++ which I want to re-learn in the correct way using Stanley Lippman's book (C++ Primer).
Ideally, I want to manage my time to learn Rust and C++. I have installed GCC compiler for writing C++ code. I expect I can install Rust which can use GNU compiler instead of MSVC.

I am actuall at the part with owneship, and I found it a bit confusing, since this is my first time learning a low level language, I never really had to think about these factors. But it is definetely interesting to learn about it, I have seen that just with everything theres a trade-off though
