24 alternatives to Full Rust course material under CC license

https://github.com/skade/rust-three-days-course https://skade.github.io/rust-three-days-course/presentation/... A while ago, I was asked by a German training supplier to teach a Rust course. For that, I created a full set of course material for three days. Instead of keeping it closed, I decided to contribute the material to the community under CC-4.0 and make the slides localisable. It is implemented using Reveal.js with a couple of extensions for switching language and code display. The course is a loose collection of small presentations showing…

Learning Rust by writing a Markdown to HTML compiler▲25
Hi HN, I'm new to Rust and, after half of `The Rust Programming Language` I decided to delve into a project I would actually use: a markdown to html compiler that actually serves my micro-blog (I started just right after publishing the project hehe). The project is intentionally small and one-file contained: I wanted to have the full picture in mind. I'm open to comments, suggestions and PRs. If you asked me more convincing arguments to "why did you do it?" rather than "to learn Rust" I would respond with: LLMs are effectively a new type of web users today and will be more and more present…

A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game▲82
"Game" is a stretch, but I put together this repo containing a pure Rust app which uses SDL2 and compiles to WASM (and can be run in a browser). Older resources were a bit out of date and a bit too verbose for my purposes, so here's a minimal working example.

I'm making a dynamic language in Rust▲184
An implementation of a dynamic programming language in Rust. Includes: Parser/Compiler, REPL, Virtual Machine, Bytecode Disassembler This started out as a learning project to teach myself Rust. It has grown into a decently substantial piece of software and I've learned quite a bit in the process! Some neat things: + A garbage collector that can store dynamically sized types without any double-indirection (i.e. I have my own Box implementation with manual alloc/dealloc) + The smart pointer used to reference GCed data is a thin pointer. The ptr metadata needed for DSTs is stored in…

Restate – Low-latency durable workflows for JavaScript/Java, in Rust▲185
We'd love to share our work with you: Restate, a system for workflows-as-code (durable execution). With SDKs in JS/Java/Kotlin and a lightweight runtime built in Rust/Tokio. https://github.com/restatedev/ https://restate.dev/ It is free and open, SDKs are MIT-licensed, runtime permissive BSL (basically just the minimal Amazon defense). We worked on that for a bit over a year. A few points I think are worth mentioning: - Restate's runtime is a single binary, self-contained, no dependencies aside from a durable disk. It contains basically a…

Asdf Clone Written in Rust▲79
I think that asdf (https://asdf-vm.com) was a great idea for a project. It helps consolidate installing and running different programming languages into a similar UX. It also is built with a plugin interface that makes it easy to build support for new languages. However it is so slow. I was just testing `node -v` and it was taking ~900ms. That kind of overhead is completely unusable. My shell prompt uses runtimes inside of it for various things so this effectively makes every command take multiple seconds to complete. So I rebuilt it in Rust but using the same plugin ecosystem so…

I rebuilt the only parts of my IDE I use, in Rust, over a weekend▲50
I don't know Rust. Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that. So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well. I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days. It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.

Open-source certificate from GitHub activity▲43
I built this as a small side project to learn and experiment, and I ended up with this! I used a subdomain from my personal portfolio, and everything else runs on free tiers. The project uses Nuxt, SVG, Cloudflare Workers, D1 (SQL), KV, Terraform, and some agentic coding with OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. What started as a joke among friends turned into a fun excuse to build something end to end, from zero to production, and to explore a few things I’d never touched before. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Data Engineering with Rust▲11
Hi HN! A few months ago, EntICOnc shared a blog post I wrote about using Rust from the perspective of a Python developer [0] which was well received, with some positive as well as mixed feedback. One thing I didn’t foresee would happen, is this little post getting a lot of attention, especially from the data engineering crowd which I consider myself a part of. Looking at the feedback, it was clear that there are some resources missing for a specific use case for which I think Rust is a perfect candidate: Data Engineering. Currently, Data Engineering is dominated by languages like Java, Scala…
