Consider name collision with packt book

[brson]

Packt has a book in the works called "Rust Cookbook": https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/rust-cookbook

We might want to rebrand to avoid the collision.

This is a tricky issue, because the word "cookbook" has such a strong association with what we want to convey here. But perhaps we could include it as a subtitle.

In any case, here are some ideas to maybe kick off a bikeshed:

• Rust: Batteries Included (my favorite)
• Crates off the shelf: a Rust Cookbook
  • Variant: Crates off the shelf: a HOWTO guide for Rust
• Rust Recipes
• Unloading Cargo: a guide to Rust's most important crates

Shame about the name as it started to get traction (I see it suggested on reddit every once and a while along with RBE). I like subtitling idea 👍
How about:

• "Rust Recipes: a Cookbook for oxidized diet" 😝 (maybe something shorter)
• "Cooking with rust"

A thought:

• "Rust by Example" => RBE
• "Rust: Batteries Included" => RBI

Nice pair of books there :-)

I liked something @skade said in Why is Rust Successful?.

We are not a batteries-included language; we are a batteries-easily-downloadable language.

But idk how I would translate that to a book title. I feel batteries-included is a more appropriate name for the thing OCaml is using it for: "defines a standard set of libraries which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml."

I would propose the Rust Atlas, which I like even better than "cookbook". This characterizes a few important aspects of the book's role:

• Given a problem you intend to solve, the atlas gets you headed in the right direction. That may mean it helps you identify the most appropriate crate and even links you to the documentation of the module or function that matches your use case.
• The atlas is exhaustive and thorough, but meticulously organized so as to not be overwhelming.
• The atlas is something that is valuable to both brand new and experienced Rust users.
• The atlas is fun to browse, just to enjoy what all exists in the world.

Another option is also the Rust Impl Gallery

I think Cookbook is practically a genre of books, and this definitely fits. I am aligned with 'Rust Cookbook' being the subtitle.
Since finding the batteries (ie knowing which crates to use) is part of the challenge with starting Rust, instead of Batteries Included I was considering:

Where's The Batteries?

A Rust Cookbook

It seems like the world has room for multiple cookbooks, of any given type.

Should this issue be closed?
