@5150cec1 yes, I don’t mean to suggest that Rust can only do things one way. That wasn’t really the point I was making. As I said, the Rust book’s explanation of how Rust makes mutexes safer improved my understanding of Go’s concurrency and the tradeoffs involved.
Finished both “Learning Go” and “The Rust Programming Language” today (latter of which has taken over a year, admittedly). Not sure I’m likely to be doing much Rust in the foreseeable future, but it’s been an interesting perspective — some things in Go have made more sense through learning how Rust does it too. (Like concurrency: “use message passing not shared memory” versus “here’s how rust makes shared memory safer”.)

@64af5594@636cb8f3 Agreed. I've learned almost nothing about this book from this review. Even if one agrees with the caricature of Marxists there's nothing constructive here. What's good and interesting about it? (Other than the fact that it allegedly annoys Marxists, but perhaps only the Marxists who exist solely in the author's imagination.) There's hardly more than a single sentence that deals with what the book is even about.
