Hi Linus.

Thanks for your detailed inputs. I will defer to Wedson to address your
points but I had one suggestion.

To me, the Rust book is nowhere near "The C
Programming Language" in quality (meaning readability
and ability to transfer complex detailed knowledge) and
that is a serious problem.

Compared to the Rust Book - which aims to provide a relatively gentle
and comprehensive introduction to the language, I think the Rust
reference might be more suitable in order to understand the language
support for features like Traits:

A lot of folks, myself included, convolve the Book with the Reference to
get a stronger handle on concepts.

This is subjective of course but I felt it worth sharing.
