I found Rust by googling languages that compile to LLVM bytecode. It was version 0.6, but I was already excited by the fact that it was promising to be a fast, safe, concurrent language. Even back then it had a value proposition to early adopters.
I wrote a Fizzbuzz implementation. I did it to test language features. As language features and the standard library kept on changing, I kept updating my repository. It's had something like 70+ commits to it since 0.6 days.

it's a little bit more complicated than necessary BECAUSE it's a test of new functionality (even now it only compiles on Nightly)
but it has a certain charm to it (fizzbuzz done in a few filter and map operations)
