I’m looking at this book now and I guess I’ll keep reading, but the early parts are quite verbose and I keep waiting to get to a description of the language. Something like “Rust for C++ programmers” might be worth a shot: https://github.com/nrc/r4cppp

There are a few different things like that for Ada. There are also a few “Rust for Haskell programmers” and I might look at a few of those.
