I’m currently going through the process of teaching myself Rust as a fun summer project, especially since it’s different enough from the Java/Spring stack I use at work regularly. What are some interesting projects I can work on in Rust to get some familiarity with how the language works, and get an idea of some of the libraries I can use with it?

Rust really shines with parsers and generators. They are easy enough and fun to write. Maybe write a lisp with it? Or a prettifier for your favorite language...

If you go with a parser, this one is an interesting crate to start messing around with:

Huh interesting, Parsing is always a fun exercise for learning some language features. I may try that out then for a good starting project. Thanks!
