Heh fun: this was inspired by Rustlings, which in turn was inspired by NodeSchool.
Mozilla Berlin used to host NodeSchool and the Rust Hack & Learn evenings. It became a bit of a hang spot, and at some point we had a pretty consistent group of folks who'd go to both. Marisa realized Rust could use something similar to NodeSchool, and started hacking on Rustlings during these evenings — which now a few years later has really taken off!
It's really cool to now see other languages in turn be inspired and follow from Rustlings ^^
