I’m currently going through the process of teaching myself Rust as a fun summer project, especially since it’s different enough from the Java/Spring stack I use at work regularly. What are some interesting projects I can work on in Rust to get some familiarity with how the language works, and get an idea of some of the libraries I can use with it?

    I like to start out any new language with an implementation of Conway’s Game of Life. It’s relatively simple, but tends to exercise a decent bit of the language.

      Seems like a good way to play around with multithreading, SIMD and even shaders if you wanted to.

      You know, I’ve never implemented Conway’s game of life, and that sounds like an excellent way to work on a new language
