Any book out there that can ease me into Rust from C?

I will use the Rust Book first.

Good choice. Follow it with this Little Book of Rust Macros. And don't verge into the unsafe stuff early, and don't verge into it later unless it's really necessary.

Yes agree, I need unsafe super rarely, and often it's just for small optimizations (like std::mem::transmute::(kind) where SyntaxKind is an enum with #[repr(u16)]).

But I guess it depends on what you're doing exactly though (the higher-level, the less unsafe you need).
