Just to clarify, when you say "not for beginners" do you mean beginners to Rust or programming in general?

edit: Based on your "It was my first introduction to rust" comment I think maybe you meant programming beginners?

Sorry, I meant that you need some programming experience. It will not teach the basics of if loops, making structs, etc; it's a good introduction to rust, prior programming experience required.

I'm assuming you also need to understand pointers and memory layout perhaps?

Definitely pointers, but IIRC it does go over the concepts. I don't recall if it ever touches lifetimes tho.

The book basically uses the crate clap to create all the CLTs, along with specific crates for regex and creating ascii tables for the cal clone.
