Personally, I never use a pre-made Anki deck. It feels like skipping over the initial learning period that I'm trying to lock-in with further study. Making every card I use myself means that I won't be totally baffled the first time it comes up, and there's a good reason I added it in the first place.

Using a pre-made deck just feels like a barrage of random information like this: https://twitter.com/zbgolia/status/1138489910757920769

Agreed; but once reading through https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ it is nice to have a deck like this. I wish it would be standard that all docs and books would include an Anki deck. I cannot remember squat without practice.

It would be helpful if there were a few sample cards added to the blog post.

Agreed. Here on my phone in the gym, I'm really curious about the cards. To see them, I'd have to find a computer - last I checked I can't upload a deck from ankimobile.

I strongly recommend Anki, not just for learning Rust but for learning anything. It is a really amazing and underutilized tool. Not everyone likes flash cards, and it won't fix that, but it does make them far more effective.

If you need flashcards to remember syntax, you're probably not writing/reading enough code.

Sure, but the glorious thing about Anki is the scheduler -- every time you get a card right it will reschedule reviews further away, on an exponential schedule. And if you self-grade 'easy' then it gets an even bigger time to next review. The cost of throwing in a few syntax oriented cards isn't terribly high in the grand scheme of thing, and there are many other bits of programming languages that are amenable to memorization -- libraries, APIs, common datastructures and idioms.
