I also worked through the courses in this series, up through Part 4. I thought it was a great way to get introduced to Rust, especially when concurrency comes into play. Having only ever written this sort of code in C/C++/Java, the way Rust required me to rethink my design to properly incorporate its concurrency model was really interesting to me. For some reason sharing "references" in a formal way felt a lot different than what I was used to, and I'm not sure why. I'd say I prefer it, perhaps because it made my design feel more deliberate.
