I’ve tried spending time learning rust, but keep getting stuck since I don’t have a good project to work on.

What are some good open source projects built in rust which wouldn’t be too difficult to contribute to?

Depending on your profiency : - you can actually contribute to the compiler itself : https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Ais... - you can contribute to the low-level abstracting graphics library : https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/labels/contributor-friendly - and more generally you can also take a look at the weeksletter (and previous iterations of it to see where help was requested) :Week's letter : https://this-week-in-rust.org/

The call for participation in week in rust gives a lot of different projects.

I also like that the compiler issues are tagged by difficulty and whether a mentor is available, fantastic.

Thank you!

Advent of Code¹ with its puzzles increasing in difficulty is always a good opportunity to learn a new language. It starts again December 1st.

I've heard about this before but never looked very closely.

Looks like a lot of fun :)
