Learning Rust is like running a marathon — you need cardio!

Hey everyone!

I’ve started learning Rust, and I have to admit, it’s a serious challenge! After years of coding in more "conventional" languages (started with Java 7, then moved to JS/TS, Python, Dart…), I thought I was ready for anything. But Rust? It’s a whole different ball game!

Between memory management, the heap, the stack, borrowing, ownership, and all these concepts that feel out of the ordinary, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. This is my second attempt to dive into it seriously, and I have to say, it’s not as "friendly" as what I’m used to.

Do any seasoned Rustaceans have tips to help me keep my head above water? Any resources, tricks, or even personal experiences to help me tame this beast?

I’m determined to crack the Rust code, but a little boost would be much appreciated!
