         | The word Effective is trademarked in the context of computer
         | reference books: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=75936440

         | I would say Yes and No. I think Effective C++ was one of the
         | first books to use this name, but now there is a publisher who
         | uses "Effective xxxxx" in a series:
         | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2PKL9M?binding=paperback&searc...
         | but that publisher does not seem related to the original
         | Effective C++ author...
         | 
         | Anyway the introduction to Effective Rust explains the choice
         | of name in a way: https://effective-rust.com/intro.html

       | As a Rust semi-noob I do get that Rust does things differently

       | thing being told "You can't do this common thing in Rust", and
       | another thing understanding what are the idiomatic alternatives
       | that do actually work. These often seem to relate to overall
       | program design (e.g. numbers of readers and writers of a data
       | structure) rather than using a single alternative language
       | construct.
       | 
       | YMMV but I found that 'Effective Rust' came closest to the 'what
       | should I do instead' guidance I was looking for, in terms of
       | getting me past some of the blockers I'd encountered. It also
       | helped me begin to read between the lines in the Rust book and
       | the O'Reilly book, where some quite important things are
       | sometimes not explicitly spelt out.
