A clickable visual guide to the Rust type system (rustcurious.com)

I like it, looks cool on desktop, but a mobile view would be cool to have as well. Having to scroll from left to right is a little awkward. Just as a side note

Was on the front page under 24h ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45167401

Is it just me, or does this seem a surprisingly bad teaching aid? I mean, it's correct and concise, but it almost distracts from the things that actually matter. I feel if I was learning Rust again this would've been almost useless, if not actually demotivating (because of how much complexity it shoves in your face all at once).

It reminds me of one of the ways of visually laying out elementary particles according to the Standard Model. And now I wonder how much that representation is also actually detrimental to its use as a teaching aid.

How this is structured reminds me of the periodic table.

That is nice. I absorbed a lot of understandable info in a very short time since I am familiar with some other statically typed languages.

Does Rust not have built in Traits for string representations (like Show) or json representations of data?

I feel like I need a guide for the guide

Makes me think of another Rust visualisation of the memory layouts, that I find amazing: https://johnbsmith.github.io/Informatik/Rust/Dateien/Rust-co...

Especially helpful if you come from C / C++

I love a page that doesn't react to my browser width.

Reminds me of https://cosmic.mearie.org/2014/01/periodic-table-of-rust-typ.... Link not available to me, WBM has it https://web.archive.org/web/20240706045446/http://cosmic.mea....

Someone mentioned a syntactic sugar for stuff like "let mut iter = a.into_iter();" (into_iter() bit) and the like, may I get reminded of them again?
