Discussion on: What was your win this week?

I started learning Rust, and did a thing. It was surprinsingly dificult to make, giving how simple the program is.

I feel like every Rust tutorial that doesn't cover the basics should begin with a warning like:

If you don't know anything about Rust and want to follow along, please don't. Go read "the book" until chapter 10 or check out Rust by example and then come back.

Rust has a nice and polite compiler, it would be a shame if you spend the next two hours yelling at it.
