I would say building a simple HTTPd server would be something a lot of people could get behind. Naturally it wouldn't follow the entire reference and specification but just getting it off the ground handling gets/posts in a psuedo standard conforming way would be a lot. Also this would cover a lot of the basics of OS interaction, multi-threading, etc. That's my 2cents. I would love to see more rust books come out. I'll happily buy them. I use the language on and off (primarily jumping between C, Java and Rust (former 2 for work)). Rust's high level programming is very nice and while Java does support some of the things rust does, its not as clean as Rust's syntax.

Really? Even if you go back to the old NCSA httpd, your looking at at something less than 200 lines. Do you think it should be an entire Apache-type get-up, or just briefly as one of the examples in Section #1? I was thinking of going Qt binding in Rust, and a book about that, but ... it doesn't really do anything other than say "Here's how you do C++ interfaces in Rust". I'll think about the broader issue which you point to -- a good-ish service on a good-ish service bus. Maybe like you would see with Scala on a ZeroQ thing, do you think?
