Learning Rust — Part 1

As a Scala engineer working mainly in the JVM for a while, I keep seeing people in my field switching to or at least also learning Rust.
I get the appeal from a FP perspective, so I thought to at least go through the book Programming Rust and try to do most of the examples.

This writing is more a way to organize my thoughts, but maybe some will be useful for other Scala engineers trying to learn the language.

The idea is to write small updates on things that I’ve learned or that work differently then writing FP code in Scala.
