 Rust By Example is in a similar style to the Go tour. There's also the Rust Book which a more traditional format.

I'm kind of offended by hello world being implemented with a macro.

It allows format arguments to be verified by the compiler. You could write the string literal directly to the stdout writer if you wanted to, but it's much more common to just use println!. It's basically equivalent to doing
code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("hello, world!\n");
}
in C, except that compilation will fail if you accidentally put a format specifier in the string instead of maybe warning and reading some trash off the stack.
