Show HN — [YC S22] – Rust for Impatient Developers (RFID) Hey everybody, it’s Sarup and Paul. "Rust for Impatient Developers" (RFID) is an interactive intro to Rust that skips programming 101, history, other fluff. Key features: * Tells you "how to write a function in Rust". Doesn't tell you "what is a function" * Distraction-free. Introduces exactly one simple idea at a time, no more * Includes simple interactive questions to verify you understood correctly * 100% free. Mobile friendly. Tracks and saves your progress. Try out the first 10 modules "Rust Basics" here: https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/rust Why we built this: We're the makers of CodeCrafters, which offers advanced programming challenges for developers. e.g Build your own BitTorrent in Rust. Our users repeatedly kept asking for a Rust intro resource that offered "just enough Rust knowledge to get started on a reasonably complex first Rust project". Initially, we wanted to recommend an external resource. * But books were too long & too intense * Tutorials weren't interactive or saving progress * Jumping right into a Rust project is also too daunting So we built RFID :) Please try it out, we'd love any feedback, it's early days. https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/rust Questions: * What could we improve in our current user experience? * What Rust related topics would you like to see covered? * What else is difficult about learning Rust?
