As a wise person once told the Internet, don't worry about picking the best one. But if you really had to pick one just start with the rust book. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ I would suggest to just dive in with a specific need you want to solve and instead of using your language of choice just use rust and look up stuff as you go. Hands on learning is usually the best learning. The only thing you need to "learn" is how to follow the ownership/borrowing paradigm that rust brings to the table.
I'm looking at this book now and I guess I'll keep reading, but the early parts are quite verbose and I keep waiting to get to a description of the language. Something like "Rust for C++ programmers" might be worth a shot: https://github.com/nrc/r4cppp
There are a few different things like that for Ada. There are also a few "Rust for Haskell programmers" and I might look at a few of those.
There's also Rust for the Polyglot Programmer which seems to be a generic version of those.
Thanks this looks good.
