The Illustrated Adventure Survival Guide for New Rustaceans
summary
An illustrated field guide that claims to make Rust approachable for Ruby and JavaScript users by showing concrete tradeoffs and tools: explains ownership and borrowing with library and boat metaphors, demonstrates stack vs heap and why Rust needs cargo build and cargo run, contrasts mutability rules and no-garbage-collector safety, and walks error handling with Option/Result. A playable text adventure is built in Ruby and is working; a Rust port exists on a branch called just_rust_things and is still under development.
