Feels like a cult manual. "Do all things our way! Don't question anything!"

If you’re not prepared to be humble when you learn, you’re not actually trying to learn. (Or not trying very hard anyway),

There’s a difference between “do it like this” and “keep an open mind when you do this”.

You can learn rust any way you want; this is just a guide for how to learn it effectively.

A fairer comparison would be learning Japanese by going to Japan and insisting on speaking English except in Japanese language classes.

Yes, you can do that.

…but it is not the most effective way to learn.

The best way to learn is full immersion. It’s just harder.

If you don’t want that, don’t do it. It’s not a cult. That’s just lazy flippant anti-rust sentiment.

That's how every student forced to take a programming elective feels about any programming language.
