rust-quick-guide

Well, I think the one that stuck out was here: https://github.com/SixArm/rust-guideposts/blob/main/projects... But here: https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/blob/master/examples/text_... and here: https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/blob/master/examples/clock... The moment some poor slob of a beginner tries to refactor any of those closures into a "normal" function, they're going to get beat over the head by the borrow checker. Yes, I know why they're required in Rust. And it makes sense once you know Rust well. But a beginner isn't likely to understand why they can't refactor a closure into a function in Rust without a whole lot of clone(). Coding "examples" for Rust need to stop using that closure style--especially in "beginner" code.

I'm teaching Rust to compsci students and recent grads who are joining tech teams. I'm creating a guide of many Rust topics and their summaries. https://github.com/sixarm/rust-guideposts The guide is free and open source. I'm seeking ideas for improvements, to help newcomers to Rust and its ecosystem. In addition to the repo, the guide is available as an ebook PDF, with pay-what-you-wish pricing. https://joelparkerhenderson.gumroad.com/l/rust-guideposts My goal is to help many people learn about Rust, so I greatly appreciate your advice and you sharing the guide if you wish. Thanks!
