I've always wanted to learn a programming language. I've tried Java and Python so many times I just can't stick with it. Maybe because I don't have a valid project or a full reason to invest extra time I really don't have.

I've seen a lot of fellow #hachyderm users talk about Rust.

Then I saw this: https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/

I may take a look through it. See what's possible.

@Klutzleo A project is crucial, otherwise you're just working in a vacuum. Medium sized open-source projects are ideal, as your code will be held to very high standards, they force you to write docs, tests, etc.
A lot of github projects tag their issues with something like "ideal for 1st time contributors" - maybe your favourite module / library does too?
