I’m a self taught JavaScript developer. I’ve got many years of experience but I’ve never worked in a language I use to manage memory in any form. I’ve been having a lot of fun learning rust and learning about what’s physically happening when a program is executed.
I’ve been watching Core Dumped (https://youtube.com/@CoreDumpped) and Low Level Learning (https://youtube.com/@LowLevelLearning) and it’s been so helpful. I have also been watching Let’s Get Rusty which is good for learning rust specifically, but I’m looking for more memory focused or detailed videos or channels talking about why things are happening. Do you know if any other channels, videos or resources that could help me learn more about this?

You will have to learn general systems programming, do not shy from c/cpp resources. Rust is a systems programming language. You will have to learn systems programming, then both c and rust will make sense. See for example The Cherno
The rust book assumes you know how to program, but it doesn’t assume you’re an expert on systems programming. It explains many things. The rust book is, of course, your best resource.
I second the recommendation to start with The Book. It contains all the necessary information, especially in the chapter about ownership.
Thanks both @[email protected] and @[email protected] for your input! I’ve ordered The Book so looking forward to getting started with that.
