The author has been a C++ programmer for quite some time and has tried to give Rust a chance many times over the years with not much success. But this has changed. In this talk we will: Go over the basics of Rust (enough for the talk to make sense). Talk about different learning strategies and the strengths and flaws they have. How the wrong way to learn for one person can be perfect for another. How being a C++ programmer can both help and hinder you. Cover common mistakes of new programmers. And hopefully inspire you to learn in different and "wrong" ways.
