Personally, what I did to learn rust was work on small simple projects that didn’t really need to worry about the borrow checker. Specifically, doing the advent of code puzzles.

That’s what got me started with rust in 2019 and now I’m a fulltime professional rust programmer. I’m definitely not a genius though.

I’ve been working on adding gpu picking to the bevy game engine. I’m struggling a bit to make it fast, but it works fairly well already. Hopefully the PR will be ready soon.
