Changed the title to "The Advanced Rust Programming Language Book Draft". Better :-)?

Thanks!

If you'd prefer that we demote the post until the material is more ready, I think it's reasonable to offer an author that prerogative.

Eh, I'm already at the top of HN. :P

More eyes to find errors before it makes into the beta channel, hopefully!

No problem! Is there someplace we can go to be alerted when it is ready?

So it's in nightly today, so barring a tragedy it will land in stable in ~8 weeks I think. I'll probably repost it everywhere when that happens.

This and The Book are living documents anyway -- they'll never be done. This just literally landed last night, though.

In a book that opens with "Unlike The Rust Programming Language we will be assuming considerable prior knowledge", you don't need the simple ownership example.

Even if assuming considerable knowledge, it's nice to be able to refresh the reader on basics here and there. That text is largely just reserving the right to not explain everything (also I'm moving away from it in general).

Also: what example? There's like a hundred examples.

Edit: If you mean the examples here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/adv-book/ownership.html

They're a recurring example that we deconstruct in later sections. There's no need to make them needlessly complicated.

Agreed. I work in Go, JS, Python, bash, Lua, Objective-C, Java, and C# (among others) every week. Sometimes I need a quick refresher on the topic at hand.

(How many times I've put a colon at the end of a Lua function line...)
