mainmatter/100-exercises-to-learn-rust — reverse-engineered prompt

I want a beginner friendly Rust course that teaches by doing, with 100 small exercises that start from zero and gradually get people to the point where they can write their own simple programs.

Please make it feel self paced and easy to follow. There should be a simple site or readable guide that explains what to do next, and the actual exercises should live in the repo so learners can solve them one at a time on their own machine. Include clear getting started instructions for installing Rust, updating to the latest stable version, opening the project in a good editor, and running whatever checks or commands they need as they go.

Keep the tone encouraging and practical, like a real hands on course, not a textbook. If it fits, point people to a separate solutions branch so they can check their work without spoiling the main flow. Look up current Rust setup docs online if you need to.
