I don't know anything about General Assembly but they are hosting a "Practical Introduction to Rust" ...
It is given by a Blad Filippov of Mozilla
Preparation:
"Bring a laptop with a code editor installed. Bonus points for installing the Rust toolchain: https://rustup.rs/"
I'm going to go. I assume that the text editor I use qualifies as a code editor.
I'm interested in your thoughts on Rust if you attended the talk.
I'm currently learning Rust the old fashioned hacker way (from books and other people's code :)). My biggest mistake was trying to use Rust with SDL2 to display some graphics. My head still hurts from banging it into a wall called 'lifetimes'. :)
(Sorry for the topic necromancy. :))
I just saw a presentation on a somewhat C-centric approach... http://cliffle.com/p/dangerust/ Learning Rust the "Dangerous Way", starting with how to do C-like things, and then draw back towards "rustacean" ways.
