I'm a backend C#(.NET)/JS(node.js), and frontend JS(angular/react) dev.

I kinda regret going into a corporate web dev field. The JS stack is terrible, work is mundane and monotonous. That's why I'm trying to learn myself something different.

Glad to hear that the official book will be available in print. The O'Reilly's book looks decent too, however it might be a little outdated already, considering how fast Rust is evolving.

You know what? I might actually try again. I like to learn while doing some real work, but I had hard time finding easy open-source Rust projects to contribute to. Can you please recommend any?

Also, what is the best beginner-friendly learning source? Rust Book 2nd edition? I like to learn from printed books, are there any good ones?

I'd also like to learn how to code in C/Rust, but the amount of time I need to invest in it to be even partially sufficient is discouraging. It's completely different from my current job, being a C#/JS full stack web dev.

I'm actually from Poland where I've negotiated at least 6 weeks of paid vacation. When combined with some national holidays I usually end up with 2 months a year of paid vacations. Not counting weekends.

I know my priorities and I've optimized my work/life balance for them.

Someone else could've said that having a roof over one's head, a computer and a fast internet connection are laughable suggestions - why would you care about them, when you can spend money on traveling around the world and the internet connection is usually all over the places for free?

I actually worry about not having enough vacation, because experiencing other people's cultures and mindsets are the most important things to me. What else would I really need?

To each his own. Some people care about looking good or commuting comfortably. Most people exaggerate these costs - that's another matter.
