Good choice. Follow it with this Little Book of Rust Macros. And don't verge into the
unsafestuff early, and don't verge into it later unless it's really necessary.Yes agree, I need
unsafesuper rarely, and often it's just for small optimizations (likestd::mem::transmute::(kind)whereSyntaxKindis an enum with#[repr(u16)]).But I guess it depends on what you're doing exactly though (the higher-level, the less unsafe you need).
Also checkout https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/. It often goes a little bit more into actual detailed code examples and often contains stuff that isn't in the book. Basics are well explained in the book though (like lifetimes)
