Learning Rust

Every piece of leaning code is in the Experiments folder. And are called Experiments.
I use the Rust programming Book as a reference. Note 'reference', I merely use this book as a reference, I don't strictly follow it. You'll see me adding other stuff from time to time as well.

To run the code, first install Rust.
Then run the code: ./run.sh <experiment_name>. For example: ./run.sh HelloWorld will run the HelloWorld experiment.

$ ./run.sh HelloWorld
 Clearing old build...
 Compiling HelloWorld.rs...
 Running HelloWorld...

 Hello, world!

Creating a new experiment

To create a new experiment, run ./newExeriment.sh <experiment_name>.
Make sure Cargo.toml stays tidy as the script will append the new experiment to it.

Motivation

I'm learning Rust because I want to learn a new language.
I see C being used a lot, and I want to learn a language that is similar to C, but with more modern features.
I also want to learn a language that has a good package manager and build system, and has a vibrant community. Rust seems to mark all the boxes.
