I got into Rust by working on Advent of Code 2021. The problems seem arbitrary, repetitive and sometimes unnecessarily hard. But they are well-designed for starting on a new language. We are forced to repeatedly use basic concepts of a language, so that is useful to get a few reps in on a new language. We are also forced to build utils that can be used a few times. And if you challenge yourself to solve the problem as quickly as possible so as to see where the story leads, you can stay motivated to work thru the problems. Helps if you have a friendly competition going with a few friends.
