One thing I noticed about tutorials for Rust on YouTube is their constant need to “sell” Rust. I get it, this is a memory safe and performant language.

I also get it. Certain features are done certain ways because they are memory safe and/or performant.

But, I do not need to hear all of this on every video.

For example, Let’s Get Rusty spends 1/3 of *each* video talking about how good Rust is when he could spend it actually teaching something.

Are there any video tutorial series that just stick to the lesson plan?

If you try to learn most languages, they don’t spend most of the video trying to sell that language. They actually teach.

I love the language by the way. Also, the book is awesome, but sometimes I want something more visual.

Edit: The main reason I do not need to hear all of this on every video is because I am already sold on the language. I really enjoy programming with it and want to learn more about it.

But, these tutorials are like hearing advertisements for the show you are watching baked into every episode. It just gets tiring after a while.

My hope is for some content creators to see this post.
