Umm, honestly this stuff is way above my head right now. But I do have a question, one you probably get a lot. Which font are you using in your terminal?
Yep, I'm definitely assuming familiarity with Rust for this post :) If you're curious, I recommend starting with The Rust Programming Language, available for free!
This recommendation is very common but the typical audience will usually be disappointed about the level of competence that will be attained after working through a ~500 page tome.
I think this old tweet gives a clearer account of the journey to basic Rust competence:

IMPORTANT: when you are done reading this book you might think “I get it now” but really, you don’t. The official book does not go nearly deep enough — it’s a great intro but after this you will be smack in the middle of the “got the gist” phase.

I currently use JetBrains Mono in both my terminal and my text editor. I also like Source Code Pro.

I think this old tweet gives a clearer account of the journey to basic Rust competence:
1 The Rust Programming Language
2 Rust By Example
3 Programming Rust (Another ~600 pages)
4 This is where you start writing your own code.
Also:
Sure, Rust is a complicated topic, but I still recommend starting there. You have to start somewhere. It worked for me, at least.
