I am interested in Rust because of its safeguards around multithreaded programming. This is is my main motivation to learn it.

What I've found good about rust is its modern toolchain and documentation.

The hardest multithreading related bugs are deadlocks, which Rust doesn't prevent. So this "fearless concurrency" mantra is not entirely true.

The documentation to get started is outstanding with Rust

The advanced documentation is also incredible and crystalized a lot of cs concepts for me. There is no impedance mismatch between the beginner docs and the advanced ones, they reference extra learning materials... Super greatful for everyone on the documentation team.
