To really dive into the content of this book, you should write out the example code and do the exercises. For that, you'll need a fairly recent computer; a gigabyte of RAM should be enough for the purposes of this book, but the more you have the faster the builds will be.

Linux is the best supported operating system here, but Rust itself is a first-class citizen on macOS and recent versions of Windows, so all the examples should adapt well there.
