The official manual is very good, and reads more or less like a textbook: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/

Yeah, this is probably actually the closest equivalent to the Rust Book, but I’ll also second the suggestion from the other comment of “Think Julia” (beginner) and “Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia” (intermediate /advanced).
For me, the most important thing to grasp when coming from another language was that Julia’s multiple dispatch brings with it effectively a whole paradigm of “dispatch-centric programming” that you have to embrace to really get the most out of Julia, including the c-like speed (have to strictly avoid type-instability for that) and the composability that everyone talks about.
