> it would be beneficial for the Rust book to have way more detailed info
I was just talking with someone on Twitter about this today, actually. I agree with you 100%, and want to fill that kind of stuff out. You gotta pick priorities, and since we'll have more new people than experienced people at first, I've been focusing on the basics. Now that the language isn't changing all the time, shortly after 1.0, I'll be able to start writing stuff like this, that covers topics in more depth.
I also think that libraries will pop up to help with this specific kind of issue, too. We'll see.
While we're making doc requests on this topic, could you address passing function pointers between C/Rust at some point? Sorry if this is already obvious to more experienced Rust users.
