+ introductions to Rust. This one is something different: it is
+ intended for the experienced programmer who already knows many
+ other programming languages. I try to be comprehensive enough to be
+ a starting point for any area of Rust, but to avoid going into too
+ much detail except where things are not as you might expect. Also
+ this guide is not entirely free of opinion, including
+ recommendations of libraries (crates), tooling, etc.".
