That is really cool. I am very much into learning with the support of AI.

Last month I started to learn Rust and I used this prompt to help me:

'I am an experienced software engineer who wants to learn Rust, design a learning path for 3 months, with daily goals. Try to have a good balance of learning and working exercises using available resources like Rustlings or Learn rust by example. Output this path in markdown and add space to gather my learnings in a note at the end of each week.'

Maybe with some tweaks can be useful to someone else!

I'd also recommend the wonderful 100 Exercises to Learn Rust authored by Luca Palmieri who also wrote Zero To Production in Rust. I'm halfway through the exercises and I find them to complement Rustlings and The Book perfectly.

So yeah, 100 Exercises to Learn Rust is what finally made traits (especially From and Into), impls and trait bounds finally click for me and I can't recommend it enough.

I did that! https://github.com/sh4ka/100-exercises-to-learn-rust

How do they compare to “the book” (I forget the exact title).

I tried to get through it a couple times, but I have no background in C and the lifetimes part confused the hell outta me. Combined with all the other new things, my interest just sorta fizzled.

Love those enums, though!!

For me the 100 exercises were a gentler introduction to the language for some topics, making the exercises was a bit difficult without having read the book first.

But I would give it a try, I did that and then the book was much more accessible.
