Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @steveklabnik (or someone else) soon. If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. The way Github handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information. |

Really like the way you wrote it, did small changes "Not every Rustacean has a background in systems programming, nor in computer

I already mention Rustaceans, so it's fine to add here :) |
Awesome, thanks! |
Nice! Is there a wiki page etc. where we can add terms to be glossarized? Also, it'd be great to enhance rustdoc such that we can cross-link possibly unfamiliar terms between the glossary and the text. |
Just submit pull requests, though I don't want this to get out of hand. Primarily focusing on CS terms here. |
…bnik @steveklabnik Trying out the Glossary idea. Added the paragraph about 'complicated words' because I think it would be useful to those contributing to the book. Maybe this should not be here
