Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. Rust achieves memory safety without garbage collection, and reference counting is optional.
The concrete syntax of Rust is similar to C and C++, with blocks of code delimited by curly brackets, and control flow keywords such as if, else, while, and for, although the specific syntax for defining functions is more similar to Pascal. Not all C or C++ keywords are implemented, however, and some Rust functions (such as the use of the keyword match for pattern matching) will be less familiar to those versed in these languages.
Rust is intended to be a language for highly concurrent and highly safe systems, which makes it a natural choice for blockchain programming - both in terms of writing protocols and smart contracts.
Following these resources will present you with ample opportunity to learn the language and put it into practice. There will be specific guides aimed at the Proof of Stake networks which utilize Rust added to this list soon.
The Rust Language Cheat Sheet has a good section of Coding Guides and overall is quite useful.
