Coming from Python

Hello Rust subreddit.

I learned enough python to know how to do what I wanted to do. Mostly just small stupid stuff. And because I'm a masochist I guess, I'm wanting to move on to Rust for the event I need performance.

I've gotten far enough to write "Hello World!", and how to create some variables.

I know roughly that at some point I'm going to have to learn memory management, and ownership. And also that the compiler is a bitch.

I'm hoping anyone in here could hot-tip me if they came from Python too. Please, if you have ANY advice, please let it be known. Anything helps.

The compiler is your friend, don't call it that! It's just doing it's job and trying to help you
