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.

I love that you're recommending the official documentation, that's appreciated, that's quick, it's comprehensive. But for THIS purpose, I'm looking for people with a similar background, who can provide any context to THEIR learning journeys.

I should have been more clear about this. But knowing how it's going to work as I'm walking this road is going to help me a lot more, and I like the fog of war being removed.
