I recently read blackhat python. I feel it has not aged well as large parts are dedicated to issues that are no longer relevant.

I don't see this book doing the same mistake. On the other hand, I dont know if I want to fight the borrow checker for weeks instead if throwing together a quick script in python...

To be fair, you only need to fight if you care about maximum performance.


Have you read the 2nd Edition or the first one?


the 2nd edition one is from 2021 and has some errors; there is errata for it

it's alright, a lot of stuff I'd characterize as a 'good start'
