Building a simple Kubernetes Controller in Rust - Part 1
Recently I got this obsession to learn Rust. While there are plenty of documentation around, like Rust Book, some good published books, tutorials, rustling, I always struggle to learn something when I am not doing something practical, so I have decided to go to my comfort zone and write a Kubernetes Controller using kube-rs.

Swift 6
I’ve been meaning to do this for years, and just played around with rust a bit (liked it, but the wrappers around some c++ stuff i wanted to use were half baked). Learning rust, there was this “rustlings” thing [0] that was a set of guided exercises to go alongside the rust book. Fastest I’ve ever picked up a language, thanks to that. Do you or anyone know anything similar for c++?

100 Exercises to Learn Rust
Surprised no one has mentioned another great and similar resource called Rustlings [0] (yes very punny name). You are given some files with todo statements which you'll need to fix and make the code compile and pass all the tests. It's an interactive way to learn which is what got me through learning Rust a few years ago.
