How can I start working on these?

Sorry, I mean how can I go ahead and start learning Rust via the exercises :) Hehe

from rust.

The Rust track is on hold until the language matures a bit more, the changes from release to release have historically been too big to keep up with.

from rust.

Is there a beta switch? That would be cool. :)

from rust.

If they worked and were maintained, they'd be up for everyone. We don't really release things in beta, shortly after it works it goes up. The main issue is that most of the tests here were started on a while ago, and they don't even compile anymore. Tests that don't work aren't very helpful.

What's needed is a person or group of people who will volunteer to port all of the exercises to the latest version of Rust, commit to doing that every time a new version of Rust comes out (while the syntax is still unstable), and ideally also make sure reviews are happening (which can be a pretty big time sink).

from rust.

You can pull down individual rust exercises and do them:

exercism fetch rust dominoes # or whatever problem

The list of exercises will shortly be available in the CLI, but for now you can look here:
https://github.com/exercism/xrust/blob/master/config.json#L6-L20

You can even submit them to the website, but nobody would be looking for them, so it's unlikely that you would get any feedback.

Note that I'm not encouraging you to do this, just saying that it's possible.

The Rust language has been released, so this seems like it should happen now.

from rust.

Indeed. The tests are running green.

I'll turn the track on, but we do still need a short intro to how to get started with the language (point to where/how to install it, and perhaps a tutorial or two where you can learn the basic syntax and concepts in the language.

from rust.

The documentation is here: exercism/docs#140 - I'm deploying that now.

from rust.

I'm launching the track, but will hold off on actually announcing it for a few days so that we can catch any weird issues if they crop up.

💃 Thanks guys!

from rust.

Yay 😀

from rust.

Any news on this front? Looks like Rust still hasn't landed in exercism :( Thanks for the great job though!

from rust.

If you scroll in the "languages" list in the navbar, Rust is there. Also, exercism fetch should give you rust exercises (or exercism fetch rust)

from rust.

You're right. I found that browsing exercism with an iPhone 6 you can't see the full list of languages (it stops at Ruby) and you can't scroll further down. That's why I thought Rust didn't land on exercism, sorry for that.

from rust.

I didn't realize the scrolling was still broken -- I thought we had gotten it fixed. Sorry about that!

from rust.

No problem - thanks again for making Rust available on Exercism! 👏
