When did I start learning Rust? I began learning Rust on 04-Feb-2026 with Rust version 1.93.0. I completed the Rust book in 30 days here. I spent 5 weeks on Rust in total. I even built a robust API at catdex-api. This helped me learn how production Rust is written, and compare it to my tools of choice.
