Don't forget to mention that Rust beginners shouldn't begin with developing Tree/Graph like data structures (and anything that requires "multiple" ownership), until they really fully understand how borrow checker and ownership work, and why ownership rules are really hard to satisfy in these cases. It can be very depressing fighting with these "cannot move out of borrowed content" messages, causing developers to give up learing Rust-lang too early.
