The biggest mistake people make coming from garbage-collected languages is trying to write linked lists or cyclic graphs in week 1.
Focus first on ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Read 'Rust Book' chapters 1-8, then immediately build a CLI tool (e.g. a simple markdown parser or directory tree visualizer). Who else is currently learning Rust? Let's pair up!

The Rust compiler error messages are the best teacher in the world. Once you stop fighting the borrow checker and understand move semantics, it completely changes how you write TypeScript too!
