Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked in a Rust by Example thread, where a commenter recalls learning Rust from PHP/JS and C#/C++ before 1.0, when the documentation was poor. The comments don't discuss the writing itself.

Articles and tutorials about Rust, Embedded development and Computer Graphics.
