- you want a general-purpose Rust tutorial without buying the book
- you expect active community contributions, as pull requests are not accepted

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, programming-language
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials, education, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, rust
