Overview
The next iteration of "The Rust Programming Language", re-written from scratch based on experience teaching Rust.
The repository is here, and you can see the rendered current draft here.
Status
We have a draft of all chapters, other than the appendix. Rust 1.18 was the first Rust to ship with a draft. We're continuing with the editing process, you can see what stage each chapter is at here.
TODO: update status here.
Do you want me to give a status, or is this for you to check in on?
@steveklabnik I've sent you an invite to collaborate; please edit the issue text directly, however you'd like.
Recommended change As of 1/31/07 -> As of 1/31/17
I'd like to see unambiguous dates like 31th of Jan, 2017 anyway, since the order of the fields is different in different countries and not all dates are unambiguous.
As a new immigrant to New Zealand, I second @golddranks - having to try to guess which comes first is a pain. Something less ambiguous would be nice.
@golddranks we should all just start using ISO 8601 format (2017-01-31). See https://xkcd.com/1179/
I've updated the description as of today.
