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?

I like to start out any new language with an implementation of Conway's Game of Life. It's relatively simple, but tends to exercise a decent bit of the language.

You know, I’ve never implemented Conway’s game of life, and that sounds like an excellent way to work on a new language

It's a fun little project to do :)

Seems like a good way to play around with multithreading, SIMD and even shaders if you wanted to.
