As I've said before, I'm working on a book about lifetimes. Or maybe it's just a long series - I haven't decided the specifics yet. Like every one of my series/book things, it's long, and it starts you off way in the periphery of the subject, and takes a lot of detours to get there.
In other words - it's great if you want an adventure (which truly understanding Rust definitely is), but it's not the best if you are currently on the puzzled end of a conversation with your neighborhood lifetime enforcer, the Rust compiler.
