Worth noting that this set of exercises was created by the author of "Zero to Production in Rust", the well-reviewed book with the crab-in-a-human-skull cover[1]. [1]: https://www.zero2prod.com

This looks like a great resource! https://rust-exercises.com/03_ticket_v1/07_setters This shows why I wouldn't use Rust for anything. Seems like a lot of verbosity for gains that don't really apply whatsoever for the kind of work I do (web apps and APIs). You have to remember let/mut fine, but then ownership/borrowing, and finally this `into()` thing - yuck! Like washing your face with sandpaper.
This is quite interesting! While we're on the topic, does anyone know of a similar set of exercises for learning Golang?
Go by example is an established favorite. https://gobyexample.com/

There’s a world outside of web development.

(I have historically been very skeptical of Rust on the web, but by now, I find it pretty pleasant. I of course know Rust very well already though.)

It's not hiding, they link to it.

And then they tell you to complete the exercises for each section before continuing and tell you exactly where the first exercise is:
> The exercise for this section is located in exercises/01_intro/00_welcome
Read the section titled "Structure" for all of this information.
