I've used these challenges in a few different contexts, they're great.

I taught myself rust by implementing solutions to these challenges, and I taught a CS class in which I had students improve their C language skills by implementing solutions to these challenges. Students got some crypto knowledge on the side!

I also learned Rust by completing (the first couple of sets of) these challenges. It was fan-damn-tastic. Way, way better than Project Euler, or reimplementing Yet Another Blog Engine or whatever. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I learned some useful crypto too!

I used them to teach myself F# (or more accurately, to force myself to apply F#). Enjoyed the challenges and the learning (of both crypto and F#).

These kinds of comments really make my day. Thanks!
