Show HN — [YC S22] – Rust for Impatient Developers (RFID)

4 pointsby sarupbanskota3 months ago
Hey everybody, it’s Sarup and Paul.<p>&quot;Rust for Impatient Developers&quot; (RFID) is an interactive intro to Rust that skips programming 101, history, other fluff.<p>Key features:<p>* Tells you &quot;how to write a function in Rust&quot;. Doesn&#x27;t tell you &quot;what is a function&quot;<p>* Distraction-free. Introduces exactly one simple idea at a time, no more<p>* Includes simple interactive questions to verify you understood correctly<p>* 100% free. Mobile friendly. Tracks and saves your progress.<p>Try out the first 10 modules &quot;Rust Basics&quot; here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.codecrafters.io&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;rust">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.codecrafters.io&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;rust</a><p>Why we built this:<p>We&#x27;re the makers of CodeCrafters, which offers advanced programming challenges for developers. e.g Build your own BitTorrent in Rust.<p>Our users repeatedly kept asking for a Rust intro resource that offered &quot;just enough Rust knowledge to get started on a reasonably complex first Rust project&quot;.<p>Initially, we wanted to recommend an external resource.<p>* But books were too long &amp; too intense<p>* Tutorials weren&#x27;t interactive or saving progress<p>* Jumping right into a Rust project is also too daunting<p>So we built RFID :)<p>Please try it out, we&#x27;d love any feedback, it&#x27;s early days. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.codecrafters.io&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;rust">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.codecrafters.io&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;rust</a><p>Questions:<p>* What could we improve in our current user experience?<p>* What Rust related topics would you like to see covered?<p>* What else is difficult about learning Rust? (besides syntax&#x2F;concepts)

I think we genuinely need this to raise the bar on interview standards much higher. Especially using Rust which LLMs are very clumbsy with getting correct with one shot.<p>&gt; What could we improve in our current user experience?<p>Just make this as the next standard for tech interviews by using Rust this time.

Tried this on mobile and surprised how well it worked. Also nice that no sign up is required!

Cool. Would love to see this for Golang too. Do you plan to add them for your Golang tracks?
