Rustlings VS Exercism - Scala Exercises

So here's the story. I decided to learn Rust, read the docs, solved the rustlings challenges. The next step in learning a new programming language is to build something with it. And so began my dilemma.

I'm learning Rust and solving the rustlings exercises.

Rustlings is a CLI-based open source project of small challenges that help to grow your knowledge of the language.

i can't truly speak to the relative steepness, i think like both rust and c++ can get quite steep depending on what you're doing but can also be simple in other cases. best to just try it out i'd say :) the rustlings guide https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings which parallels the rust book https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ is a good way to learn. doing things like advent of code could also help. the most common hurdles with rust are "lifetimes" and "the borrow checker", and it just takes practice to figure them out

I recommend checking out the Rustlings exercises - they provide a really good overview of approaching concepts in Rust, if you're having difficulty with the docs.

perfect thank you so much for the explanation and for the link i got it working :)

Working through the rustlings exercises

The book is great and was my original introduction to the language, but rustlings or Rust By Example might be more interesting for an interactive (and more self paced) approach.

Rustlings: This is a great resource for getting started with Rust, with small exercises to help you get comfortable reading and writing code.

I've been learning Clojure through Exercism this month, and decided to live stream my setup today. Today was my second attempt at live streaming.

Decent spot to get guided practice : https://exercism.org/

If you want to start practicing Js to get familiar to the syntax you can check https://exercism.org . Now as others said you have to practice on real life projects too by building applications

I haven't done much with Kotlin, other than look at it and try some exercism.org projects; but I have considered the free Kotlin and Android course offered by Google.

After having (part of) the book I decided to get my hands dirty and tried to create a chess game. However I quickly encountered the borrow check. And found myself with problems of intermediate complexity that do not seem to have answers on in rust :. So I tried exercism.org exercises but not much of them are about lifetimes.
