We're Launching 60 Rust Exercises Designed For Python Devs - Pybites
"Most Rust learning resources start from zero. They assume you've never seen a programming language before, or they assume you're coming from C++. Neither fits the Python developer who already knows how to think in code but needs to learn Rust's ownership model, type system, and borrow checker. We took a different approach: you already know the pattern, here's how Rust does it."
"Intro (15 exercises) - variables, types, control flow, enums, pattern matching Ownership (7) - move semantics, borrowing, the borrow checker Traits & Generics (8) - Debug, Display, generic functions and structs Iterators & Closures (8) - closures, iterator basics, map/filter, chaining Error Handling (4) - Result, Option, the ? operator Strings (5) - String vs &str, slicing, UTF-8 Collections (5) - Vec, HashMap, the entry API"
Sixty targeted exercises map familiar Python concepts to Rust equivalents to accelerate learning for Python developers. Exercises are organized into ten tracks covering intro topics, ownership, traits and generics, iterators and closures, error handling, strings, collections, modules, and algorithms. Each exercise includes a teaching description with Python comparisons, a starter template, and a full test suite that validates solutions. The curriculum emphasizes Rust's ownership model, move semantics, borrowing, the borrow checker, and Rust's type system. Examples bridge patterns like list comprehensions, context managers, and __str__ to their Rust counterparts. The approach avoids reteaching general programming fundamentals already known to Python programmers.
