Hi! I'm the maintainer, and I'm glad yinz are enjoying rustlings :) I don't have any plans to do this for other languages, but please feel free to start your own!

If you have any particular Rust concepts that you'd like exercises for, please let me know here, file an issue, or even contribute an exercise! Errors that you've hit that took you out of your flow of working on something else are great candidates. I haven't been adding new exercises recently, but I would like to continue expanding.

Thanks! <3

This looks pretty neat! Would you recommend this for someone wanting to learn rust from scratch who is proficient in other languages?

That's basically my target audience :) It's not comprehensive yet, but the idea is to give you practice with Rust syntax and compiler errors.

So a Pittsburgher with a passion for rust? Color me surprised.

Isn't it in the rust belt?

Indeed it is!

That's... the joke...

Guilty as charged :)

holy cow...just went looking for the origins of "yinz" and found out about "western pennsylvania english." My wife does the "needs/likes/wants + past participle" thing listed in the wikipedia article[1], and I never knew it was commonplace in some parts of the U.S.

Hmmm... It is a common usage in Appalachian East Tennessee also. I suspect it's more generically Appalachian than just Pennsylvania.

Wikipedia says only outsiders say "Pittsburghese", but I've only ever heard it, and never "Western Pennsylvania English."
